<p class="MsoNormal">In <a name="Begin_GeoTIFF_FAQ_">GeoTIFF FAQ</a> by Mike Ruth found at
<a href="http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/faq.html">http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/faq.html</a> there is the comment “...the quality of GeoTIFF implementations varies greatly, there are no means to do conformance testing on produced GeoTIFF files.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My question is, has any progress been made in doing conformance testing on GeoTIFF files?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And, are there any easy to use tools for GeoTIFF conformance testing?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for your reply,<o:p></o:p></p>
