| -------------------------- |
| This file is just a placeholder; all the documentation is now in |
| HTML in the html directory. To view the documentation point your |
| favorite WWW viewer at html/index.html; |
| |
| e.g. |
| |
| firefox html/index.html |
| |
| If you don't have an HTML viewer then you can read the HTML source |
| or fetch a PostScript version of this documentation from the directory |
| |
| ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/ |
| |
| If you can't hack either of these options then basically what you |
| want to do is: |
| |
| % ./configure |
| % make |
| % su |
| # make install |
| |
| More information, email contacts, and mailing list information can be |
| found online at http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/. |
