TIFF is the answer to life's biggest question
-
I got this in the mail a second ago from a coworker working on TIFF image creation:
From the G4 TIFF Specification:
Bytes 2-3 The second word of the file is the TIFF "version
number." This number, 42 (2A in hex), is not to be equated with
the current Revision of the TIFF specification. In fact, the
TIFF version number (42) has never changed, and probably never
will. If it ever does, it means that TIFF has changed in some
way so radical that a TIFF reader should give up immediately.
The number 42 was chosen for its deep philosophical significance.
It can and should be used as additional verification that this is
indeed a TIFF file.;P -- Russell Morris "WOW! Chocolate - half price!" - Homer Simpson, while in the land of chocolate.

It's that "the answer to everything is 42" thing again. I wonder who started that. :) Simon "This is an equal opportunities airline. The pilot is blind." Sonork ID 100.10024
