How to naff up ChangeFSI without trying

I have a TIFF image. It causes ChangeFSI to fail (unknown or missing variable at line 10184 – some brief tests indicate that “datacache%” is not a known variable at that point).

So I thought I’d try to point you guys at a sample image and…well…

ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/pics-3.8.0.tar.gz

Some work.
Some complain that it is a 32 bit image that isn’t CYMK.
Some complain that 6 / 12 / 14 / 16 / 30 / 36 / 42 / 48 / 64 / 72 / 96 bpp isn’t supported.
Fair enough.

The rest, and sadly the majority:

• complain that 6 / 12 / 14 / 16 / 30 / 36 / 42 / 48 / 64 / 72 / 96 bpp isn’t supported – this is listed twice as while it is valid to reject bpp that is not supported, it is also failing to correctly parse…I mean, 96 bits per pixel? Seriously?
• rendered wrongly
• Abort on data transfer (10207 & 10393)
• Subscript out of range
• No such function/procedure (9040 & 10059)
• Unknown or missing variable (doesn’t give an error code!)

So, simplest way to naff up CFSI is to ask it to display TIFF in any “unusual” encoding (I guess unusual would be something not created with PaintShopPro 2, huh? :-p ).
