Hi there,

I played around with the script and got at least to run and like Andrew
proposed the problem is:
GDALOpen failed - 4
`E:\\dev\\ozi2geotiff\\trunk\\test.ozf2' not recognised as a supported
file format.

The work on an ozf2 driver has already started. Oliver, as you mentioned
it, do you know if this could be a problem and if I should ask the
OziExplorer guys to allow me this?

Regards,
Tom
