Hello Frank,
here's the tiffinfo:
the first one is the one I built using the tifflib. The 2nd one is the
same image but viewed and than saved as a tiff with irfanview.
After I built the tiff irfanview and vliv recognize the image but not
too many other viewers (so far I only found irfanview and vliv to read
them). After I opened the tiff and saved it again as a tiff all viewers
so far can read it.So I figured I must have done something wrong or forgot something.
btw: After irfanview saves the file below it's size grows
from 4.96Mb to 8.71M (but that's due to compression. apparently
irFanview doesn't create "deflated" files ?)TIFF Directory at offset 0x4f6222 (5202466)

Ron,
The most obvious issue here is that you used the Deflate compression scheme which is relatively new, and not very widely supported while Irfanview used LZW which is more widely supported. I'd guess that is the source of the problem.
Best regards,
