I was unpressed that it could view tiff files that are multiple page documents that other viewers could not. -- Aaron, Document Viewer functioned the same as the rest. I have preferred okular, but both work well for me. So far my debug attempts point in the direction of libtiff for Fedora14. The same created files are readable for Fedora 5 tiff readers. Ok, you are right I have some Fedora 5 units still alive.... they work and without problems :) I took Dr. Chudobiak's advice and have posted the problem on : http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/tiff/ Thanks for your response!!!
