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