I can't help you with most points, but maybe others can. If you post more specific things (like the actual bugfixes you have in mind and actual error messages), people will be more likely to respond. Please make it easy on them, they are probably doing this as a sideline while working. Also, i am wondering which of the possible interpretations of JPEG-in-TIFF6 you would like to have implemented. From all i've read, i've gathered that libtiff doesn't implement it because the specification is too vague. If you really need to read some such TIFFs, it shouldn't be too hard to extend libtiff for that yourself. If you submit the code to Sam, maybe he will put it in the contrib directory. Gerben Vos.
