Joris, pics-3.6.1.tar.gz is the same testsuite you thinking about. I have added one or two images to it and it is now packaged with the same naming scheme as libtiff itself, so users can easily pick-up thwe latest variant. > > So, I think the better solution might be to segregate our suite of > > test images into files considered to be standard and valid, and > > those that are invalid but that we want to work with anyways for > > purposes of interoperability. > > Yes, absolutely defenetly.

All test images are generated by the test cases from the internal data arrays and being compared with that images after reading the files back.

There is a short README file in the pics package, but I'm agree, it is not enough for good test suite. -- Andrey V. Kiselev Home phone: +7 812 5274898 ICQ# 26871517
