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.

    netscape 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

    ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/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.libtiff.org/.
