The Group 3 fax stuff originated as code 30*5f25ca74SAndrey Kiselevfrom Jef Poskanzer, but has since been rewritten several times. The latest 31*5f25ca74SAndrey Kiselevversion uses an algorithm from Frank Cringle -- consult 32*5f25ca74SAndrey Kiselev<TT>libtiff/mkg3states.c</TT> and <TT>libtiff/tif_fax3.h</TT> for further 33*5f25ca74SAndrey Kiselevinformation. The JPEG support was written by Tom Lane and is dependent on the 34*5f25ca74SAndrey Kiselevexcellent work of Tom Lane and the Independent JPEG Group (IJG) who distribute 35*5f25ca74SAndrey Kiselevtheir work under friendly licensing similar to this software. Joris Van Damme 36*5f25ca74SAndrey Kiselevimplemented the robust Old JPEG decoder (as included in libtiff since version 37*5f25ca74SAndrey Kiselev3.9.0, in older releases there was other Old JPEG module, which was incomplete 38*5f25ca74SAndrey Kiselevand unsuitable for many existing images of that format). JBIG module was 39*5f25ca74SAndrey Kiselevwritten by Lee Howard and depends on JBIG library from the Markus Kuhn. Many 40*5f25ca74SAndrey Kiselevother people have by now helped with bug fixes and code; a few of the more 41*5f25ca74SAndrey Kiselevpersistent contributors have been: 420ef31e1fSMike Welles 430ef31e1fSMike Welles<PRE> 44a4079e75SFrank Warmerdam Bjorn P.
