62    This software provides support for the <i>Tag Image File Format</i> (TIFF),
63    a widely used format for storing image data.  The latest version of
64    the TIFF specification is <a href="document.html">available on-line</a>
65    in several different formats.
66  </p>
67  <p>
68    Included in this software distribution is a library, libtiff, for
69    reading and writing TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing simple
70    manipulations of TIFF images on UNIX systems,
71    and documentation on the library and
72    tools.  A small assortment of TIFF-related software for UNIX
73    that has been contributed by others is also included.
74  </p>
75  <p>
76    The library, along with associated tool programs, should handle most of
77    your needs for reading and writing TIFF images on 32- and 64-bit
78    machines.  This software can also be used on older 16-bit systems
79    though it may require some effort and you may need to leave out some of
80    the compression support.
81  </p>
82  <p>
83    The software was orginally authored and maintained by Sam Leffler.
84    While he keeps a fatherly eye on the mailing list, he is no longer
85    responsible for day to day maintenance.
86  </p>
87  <p>
88    Questions should be sent to the TIFF mailing list:
