Hi guys,


We are successfully decoding black&white cheque images using libtiff in our
company and are very happy with the stability of this lib.

Unfortunately, we now have to support cheque images in grayscale 
from a  financial institution which passes us TIFF wrapped JPEG images using
the flawy design in Rev. 6.0 June 3 1992, they are *not* wrapped  described in
the Draft TIFF Technical Note #2.

My question to you folks, does libtiff support this old-style JPEG
implementation? I saw in the tiff_jpeg.c that libtiff supports the
very good implemention of the IJG group (Thomas G. Lane.), but I could not
find infos whether the old-style JPEG is still supported in libtiff. 

If not, does anyone know
a lib who allows to decode the old-style JPEG?

Thanks

Wolfram Bettermann
