58    This software provides support for the <i>Tag Image File Format</i> (TIFF),
59    a widely used format for storing image data.  The latest version of
60    the TIFF specification is <a href="document.html">available on-line</a>
61    in several different formats.
62  </p>
63  <p>
64    Included in this software distribution is a library, libtiff, for
65    reading and writing TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing
66    simple manipulations of TIFF images, and documentation on the
67    library and tools.  Libtiff is a portable software, it was built
68    and tested on various systems: UNIX flavors (Linux, BSD, Solaris,
69    MacOS X), Windows, and OpenVMS.  It should be possible to port
70    libtiff and additional tools on other OSes.
71  </p>
72  <p>
73    The library, along with associated tool programs, should handle most of
74    your needs for reading and writing TIFF images on 32- and 64-bit
75    machines.
76  </p>
77  <p>
78    The software was originally authored and maintained by Sam Leffler.
79  </p>
