42<P>
43This software provides support for the <I>Tag Image File Format</I> (TIFF),
44a widely used format for storing image data.  The latest version of
45the TIFF specification is <A HREF=document.html>available on-line</A>
46in several different formats.
47<P>
48Included in this software distribution is a library, libtiff, for
49reading and writing TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing simple
50manipulations of TIFF images on UNIX systems,
51and documentation on the library and
52tools.  A small assortment of TIFF-related software for UNIX
53that has been contributed by others is also included.
54
55<P>
56The library, along with associated tool programs, should handle most of
57your needs for reading and writing TIFF images on 32- and 64-bit
58machines.  This software can also be used on older 16-bit systems
59though it may require some effort and you may need to leave out some of
60the compression support.
61
62<p> The software was orginally authored and maintained by Sam Leffler.
63While he keeps a fatherly eye on the mailing list, he is no longer
64responsible for day to day maintenance.
65
66<p> Questions should be sent to the TIFF mailing list: <A
