It is working properly on my system -- latest IJ daily build, MAC OSX,
loci_tools.jar in plugin directory, TiffDumper installed in
plugins/input-output. It is running from the downloaded class file.
Aside -- this list is amazing. Within a few days of posting my problem,
I have in hand the following solutions:
1. Wayne modified getMetadata to read the required tags.
2. Joachim Wesner sent me a plugin that read the raw tiff codes from any
tiff file. Both useful and educational (one sees the raw numbers and
understands better how the tiff tags are built).
3. Curtis sent a stand alone application to read the tags
and before I could start playing with how to use it in ImageJ
4. Wayne sent a plugin version for ImageJ
Thanks to all of you for your kind help.
