Francesco,

What version of Riscan Pro are you using? The latest should be OK

Subject: [Liblas-devel] liblas throwing an error upon wrong day of the year
on "corrupt" LAS file 


Hello, just thought I'd drop by a note regarding reading a not-well-formed
LAS file.
I am reading a file exported from RiScanPRO into LAS format, with a bad day
of the year tag on the header. 
When reading with ReaderFactory -> CreateWithStream, Liblas throws an error
and exits upon reading the bad date. 
So I hacked the liblas to send a message but not throw an error, so my code
keeps going. Am I an ignoramous coder and there are ways of ignoring a thrown
error somewhat, or isn't it better to keep from throwing an error upon such
non-fatal problem as a wrong date format?
(I hope I expressed myself correctly).
Cheers and thanks for your time,
Francesco
