This surmounts limitations in the Microsoft Windows + read() and write() APIs (which are limited to the range of a + 32-bit 'int'), and may avoid poor behavior with extremely large + I/O requests on other systems. + </UL> + + +</UL> + +<P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=left> + +<!--------------------------------------------------------------------------> + +<A NAME="tools"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE TOOLS:</B></A> + +<UL> + + <LI> All tools + <UL> + <LI> Updated to use I/O wrapper macros from tiffiop.h in order + to support large files under Microsoft Windows. + </UL> + +</UL> + +<P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=left> + +<!---------------------------------------------------------------------------> + +<A NAME="contrib"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE CONTRIB AREA:</B></A> + +<UL> + + <LI> None + +</UL> + +Last updated $Date: 2015-08-28 16:04:56 $. + +</BODY> +</HTML> |
