The Group 3 fax stuff originated as code 305f25ca74SAndrey Kiselevfrom Jef Poskanzer, but has since been rewritten several times. The latest 315f25ca74SAndrey Kiselevversion uses an algorithm from Frank Cringle -- consult 325f25ca74SAndrey Kiselev<TT>libtiff/mkg3states.c</TT> and <TT>libtiff/tif_fax3.h</TT> for further 335f25ca74SAndrey Kiselevinformation. The JPEG support was written by Tom Lane and is dependent on the 345f25ca74SAndrey Kiselevexcellent work of Tom Lane and the Independent JPEG Group (IJG) who distribute 355f25ca74SAndrey Kiselevtheir work under friendly licensing similar to this software. Joris Van Damme 365f25ca74SAndrey Kiselevimplemented the robust Old JPEG decoder (as included in libtiff since version 37263c34baSAndrey Kiselev3.9.0, there was another Old JPEG module in older releases, which was 38263c34baSAndrey Kiselevincomplete and unsuitable for many existing images of that format). JBIG 39263c34baSAndrey Kiselevmodule was written by Lee Howard and depends on JBIG library from the Markus 40263c34baSAndrey KiselevKuhn. Many other people have by now helped with bug fixes and code; a few of 41263c34baSAndrey Kiselevthe more persistent contributors have been: 420ef31e1fSMike Welles 430ef31e1fSMike Welles<PRE> 44a4079e75SFrank Warmerdam Bjorn P.
