4--------------------------
5This file is just a placeholder; all the documentation is now in
6HTML in the html directory.  To view the documentation point your
7favorite WWW viewer at html/index.html; e.g.
8
9    netscape html/index.html
10
11If you don't have an HTML viewer then you can read the HTML source
12or fetch a PostScript version of this documentation from the directory
13
14    ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff/doc
15
16If you can't hack either of these options then basically what you
17want to do is:
18
19    % ./configure
20    % make
21    % su
22    # make install
23
24If that doesn't do what you want, or something isn't clear then
25sorry, but you're SOL.
