1###################### 2About contrib:mac-mpw: 3###################### 4 5This directory contains all of the utilities and makefile source 6to build the LIBTIFF library and tools from the MPW Shell. The 7file BUILD.mpw in this directory is an executable script 8which uses all of these files to create the MPW makefiles and 9run them. 10 11The <file>.make files are not MPW makefiles as such, 12but are when run through the "mactrans" program, which turns 13the ascii "%nn" metacharacters into the standard weird MPW 14make characters. 15 16This translation trick is necessary to protect the files when 17they are put into unix tarfiles, which tend to mangle the 18special characters. 19 20 --Niles Ritter (ndr@tazboy.jpl.nasa.gov) 21
