Comment example for C++ Builder

This example does the following:

1.

Loads an image from a TIFF file.

2.

Updates the current comment array by reading comments from the file.

3.

Modifies one of the comments.

4.

Modifies and saves the file.

5.

Reads the comment that was saved, and displays it in a message box.

This example handles only string comments. For more complex comments, refer to Exif Examples.
