The object is a bit of a bodge, trying to add a nice object front end to some
old C code for reading TIFF compliant images.  There is indeed a default 
constructor, I will try and post the complete code at some point, my
mail machine is not my work machine, so this may be problematic. 

When I say the compiler apologised, I mean it said 'Sorry, not implemented' or
words to that effect, is if it were having tea with the vicar or something.
