Sorry if this has been raised before, but would it be better to have TIFFFILEOpen( FILE*, char* ) instead? C stream I/O is portable, and that is an interface well supported by other free codec libs, which makes generalising code that needs to support eg. tiff and jpeg a bit more pleasant. I've done this already in my own code (no mmap support yet though), and can say it's trivial for people to do locally, but is there any reason not to provide it by default here? cheers, Ron
