54    This software provides support for the <i>Tag Image File Format</i> (TIFF),
55    a widely used format for storing image data.  The latest version of
56    the TIFF specification is <a href="document.html">available on-line</a>
57    in several different formats.
58  </p>
59  <p>
60    Included in this software distribution is a library, libtiff, for
61    reading and writing TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing
62    simple manipulations of TIFF images, and documentation on the
63    library and tools.  Libtiff is a portable software, it was built
64    and tested on various systems: UNIX flavors (Linux, BSD, Solaris,
65    MacOS X), Windows, and OpenVMS.  It should be possible to port
66    libtiff and additional tools on other OSes.
67  </p>
68  <p>
69    The library, along with associated tool programs, should handle most of
70    your needs for reading and writing TIFF images on 32- and 64-bit
71    machines.
72  </p>
73  <p>
74    The software was originally authored and maintained by Sam Leffler
75    but has been maintained by a cast of others since 1999.
76  </p>
77  <p>
78    Questions should be sent to the TIFF mailing list:
