6This file is just a placeholder; all the documentation is now in
7HTML in the html directory. To view the documentation point your
8favorite WWW viewer at html/index.html; e.g.
9
10 netscape html/index.html
11
12If you don't have an HTML viewer then you can read the HTML source
13or fetch a PostScript version of this documentation from the directory
14
15 ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/
16
17If you can't hack either of these options then basically what you
18want to do is:
19
20 % ./configure
21 % make
22 % su
23 # make install
24
25More information, email contacts, and mailing list information can be
