hello tiffnuts.

i have a cronjob running every morning using the tiffsplit command (from tifflib on DEC unix) to count the number of files in several 100 multi-page tiffs that are transferred into our storage. then i count the number of "xfiles" formed.

problem: i always get a count of 0. however when i run the same cronjob manually on the exact same files, it splits the files and counts the xfiles accurately. any ideas why? or is there a more efficient way to figure out how many files are in a multipage tiff?

TIA, humzah
