1998.11.13 23:12 "Tiff Version 3.4 Beta 037 Patch to fix tiff2ps deadzone handling", by John Wehle

This patch fixes the deadzone handling for multipage tiffs.

Changes:

  1. Output AvoidDeadZonePreamble for each page since showpage causes initgraphics to run which resets the current transformation matrix.

Enjoy,
