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

[francesco]

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
