Warning<br />

It appears that Unisys is actively pursuing copyright control on the LZW compression algorithm.<br />

In particular, users of the LZW compression within the TIFF framework. For this reason the TIFF<br />

6.0 spec states that LZW compression is not recommended. It is unclear at this time what<br />

compression algorithm will be used in place of it. I have no idea what this means to you or to<br />

this library. I make no warranty or guarantees with regard to the LZW support in this library.<br />
