I expect htat a DLL will compile, but is the library as a DLL re-entrant? I need to work on TIFF files in two threads, on separate images [one will write the multipage image that has been built, and one work on the next multipage image].

Bruce,

I think it should be safe for more than one thread to use libtiff as long as they are accessing different files. This assumes that the underlying libc is thread safe of course. Does anyone know otherwise?

A DLL, and import library is available from:

ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/libtiff_bin_354.zip

Best regards,
