documentation error

In the copyright page of the help file, the following entry appears:

Code: Select all

GIF/TIFF (LZW) - http://www.unisys.com 
Copyright (c) Unisys GmbH 
If you read or write images in the GIF or TIFF format, you must acquire a licence from Unisys(Patented). 

Part of this is inaccurate, part of it is wrong: TIFF's *can be* LZW compressed, but they don't have to be. The GIF patent expired in 2003, so no license is required. (Not sure, but I think the LZW patent that applied to GIF's also applied to TIFF's. If that's true, then this entry could probably be eliminated altogether.)

Found in Help for v1.91 for Windows.

Yes, right, will be fixed
