[Nottingham] Tweaking the orientation flag in a jpeg

[Roger Light]

Hi Graham,

I don't, but it's fairly simple to put together. I've created a quick
C program that should do what you want. It's at
http://atchoo.org/temp/tweak.c

It's pretty basic - it assumes that the files will fit into memory
completely for example.

You'll need to modify it first to set the offset of the byte that you
want to change. Then compile it with "gcc -o tweak tweak.c"

After that, run either as:

./tweak <input file>

which will overwrite the input file (no guarantees you won't lose your
data!), or:

./tweak <input file> <output file>

Cheers,

Roger
