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: 89 <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>, with 90 a subscription interface at 91 <a href="http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/tiff">http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/tiff</a>. 92 </p> 93 <p> 94 The persons responsible for putting up this site and putting together 95 versions >= 3.5.1 are 96 <a href="http://pobox.com/~warmerdam">Frank Warmerdam</a>, 97 <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Andrey Kiselev</a> and Mike Welles. 98 </p> 99 <p> 100 The following sections are included in this documentation: 101 </p> 102 <ul> 103 <li><a href="support.html">TIFF 6.0 specification coverage</a></li> 104 <li><a href="libtiff.html">Using the TIFF Library</a></li> 105 <li><a href="internals.html">Modifying the TIFF Library</a> 106 and <a href="addingtags.html">Adding New Tags</a></li> 107 <li><a href="tools.html">TIFF tools overview</a></li> 108 <li><a href="contrib.html">Contributed software</a></li> 109 <li><a href="document.html">TIFF documentation</a></li> 110 <li><a href="build.html">Building the software distribution</a></li> 111 <li><a href="bugs.html">Bugs, Bugzilla, and the TIFF mailing list</a></li> 112 <li><a href="images.html">Test images</a></li> 113 <li><a href="misc.html">Acknowledgements and copyright issues</a></li> 114 <li><a href="man/index.html">Man Pages</a></li> 115 </ul> 116 <hr> 117 <p> 118 Last updated $Date: 2006-03-13 14:53:35 $. 119 </p> 120</body> 121</html> 122
