    1. Years that would be valid = 1900-2000's and going forward.
    2. All files will have .tif file extension. Not valid, otherwise.
  2. Creation date doesn't matter. The date within the file name (e.g. name-2001_filename-123.tif) will be named by a human. This is where the script must check and confirm the naming convention formatting, is correct.

    Essentially, it will contain a year and some sort of file naming convention indicative to the image. Here's the format:

    locationabbreviation-year-orgnumber_imagenumber.tif

    examples:
    bldg1-1996-org101_F-12345.tif
    bldgzone-2001-org234_ZTW-12345.tif
    .
  3. Not delete bad file name, but move to a "bad file" directory or so. If the file doesn't follow this formatting, its kicked out to the "bad file" directory.

NAME

       tiffset - set a field in a TIFF header

DESCRIPTION

       Tiffset sets the value of a TIFF header to a specified value.

OPTIONS

       -d dirnumber
	      change the current directory (starting at 0).

       -s tagnumber [ count ] value ...
	      Set the value of the named tag to the value or values specified.

       -sd diroffset
	      change the current directory by offset.

       -sf tagnumber filename
	      Set the value of the tag to the contents of filename.  This option is supported for ASCII tags only.

EXAMPLES

       The following example sets the image description tag(270) of a.tif to the contents of the file descrip:
