    This software provides support for the Tag Image File Format (TIFF),

    a widely used format for storing image data.  The latest version of

    the TIFF specification is available on-line

    in several different formats.

    Included in this software distribution is a library, libtiff, for

    reading and writing TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing

    simple manipulations of TIFF images, and documentation on the

    library and tools.  Libtiff is a portable software, it was built

    and tested on various systems: UNIX flavors (Linux, BSD, Solaris,

    MacOS X), Windows, and OpenVMS.  It should be possible to port

    libtiff and additional tools on other OSes.

    The library, along with associated tool programs, should handle most of

    your needs for reading and writing TIFF images on 32- and 64-bit

    machines.

    The software was originally authored and maintained by Sam Leffler.

    Questions should be sent to the TIFF mailing list:

    tiff@lists.maptools.org, with

    a subscription interface at

    http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/tiff.

    The persons responsible for putting up this site and putting together
