TIFF Software Distribution

This file is just a placeholder; all the documentation is now in HTML in the html directory. To view the documentation point your favorite WWW viewer at html/index.html;

e.g.

firefox html/index.html

If you don't have an HTML viewer then you can read the HTML source or fetch a PostScript version of this documentation from the directory

http://download.osgeo.org/libtiff/

If you can't hack either of these options then basically what you want to do is:

% ./configure
% make
% su
# make install

More information, email contacts, and mailing list information can be found online at http://www.simplesystems.org/libtiff/
