I understand.  I'm trying to sneak time in-between Asterisk configs and 
maintenance to get some HylaFAX stuff done.  And if Microsoft hadn't 
broken so many things in XP SP2 I would not have had to deal with 
clients' printer problems all last week.

Yeah, I'm aware of this one.

You'll see a patch from me on this soon (following the comments in the 
Bug report).

We had a private discussion on this, and to follow-up on it, I've 
counselled with the tiff mailing list, and the good opinions I get 
there are that a new tag should be used, rather than trying to twist 
the old one up.  This was mostly for compatibility reasons - so that 
you can test for the presense of a defined tag in order to detect "new" 
capabilities.  I exchanged e-mails with Sam, and he gave me the go 
ahead on tag 34911.  I tried doing something like TIFFTAG_PHOTOSHOP, 
but it's not working out, and I'm beginning to think that I'd prefer 
the tag ASCII-encoded anyway (rather than having a length field and a 
data field in the tag) so that debugging is easier (tiffdump rather 
than hexdump and manually parsing the tags).  In the meantime I've 
asked the tiff list to help me in setting up the new tag with 
length+data fields, to see how that would work.

Yeah.
