TIFF controls in XP

[TheDude73]

Ok, I figured out how to go about copying the Kodak controls into XP from a Win2K setup (Imgedit.ocx, Imgadmin.ocx, etc). This allowed me to insert TIFF images into my VB forms.

However, according to one of the forums I located, this is illegal since Kodak sold out to some other company and they are now claiming full rights and want a license fee for each user. Are there any LEGAL workarounds for using the Kodak imaging controls or some other way of displaying a TIFF image in a VB form (without converting to some other file format)?
thanks,

Under XP you can use the snappily titled (and little publicised) Windows Image Acquisition Automation Library, which provides most of the functionality that existed in the Wang/Kodak controls. The following link may be of help:
