  10 Hi Sam,
  11
  12 I noticed in the README from libtiff that you would like to know about
  13 what people have done with libtiff, so I thought I would drop you a
  14 line.
  15
  16 We have used libtiff to create and convert TIFF images of financial
  17 documents which are sent from and to major document processing systems
  18 in Sweden and Denmark.
  19
  20 I would like to express my deep gratitude to yourself and Sillicon
  21 Graphics for making this excellent library available for public use.
  22 There is obviously a lot of work that has gone in to libtiff and the
  23 quality of the code and documentation is an example to others.
  24
  25 One thing that libtiff did not do was work on a memory area rather than
  26 files. In my applications I had already read a TIFF or other format
  27 file in to memory and did not want to waste I/O writing it out again
  28 for libtiff's benefit. I therefore constructed a set of functions to
  29 pass up to TIFFClientOpen to simulate a file in memory. I have attached
  30 my mfs (memory file system) source code for you to use or junk, as you
  31 see fit. :-)
  32
  33 Once again, thanks very much for making my life simpler.
  34
  35 Best Regards,
  36
