Thanks for the fast responses! Note that the manpage says quite different: If your temporary ($TMPDIR) directory is getting full, this function can be useful - compressing all images at LZW-compressed TIFFs. These require much less space than the PNM files that are typically produced by SANE or by importing a PDF. Maybe this could be made a bit clearer. ;) Cheers, -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems "i've got a bike, you can ride it if you like, it's got a basket. a bell that rings, and things to make it look good. i'd give it to you if i could, but i borrowed it." -- syd barrett, 1967
