thanks all for the suggestions. all that was needed was to specify the full
name of tiffsplit. but using doug's tiffinfo $FILE 2>/dev/null | fgrep 'TIFF
Directory at offset' | wc -l to count pages produced much faster results.
here's the comparison times...
using tiffinfo...
real   30.2
user   1.6
sys    9.5
using tiffsplit...
real   143.9
user   9.3
sys    54.6
i'm sure the c program will be even quicker.
thanks again.
