+About contrib:mac-mpw:
+######################
+
+This directory contains all of the utilities and makefile source
+to build the LIBTIFF library and tools from the MPW Shell. The
+file BUILD.mpw in this directory is an executable script
+which uses all of these files to create the MPW makefiles and
+run them.
+
+The <file>.make files are not MPW makefiles as such,
+but are when run through the "mactrans" program, which turns
+the ascii "%nn" metacharacters into the standard weird MPW
+make characters.
+
+This translation trick is necessary to protect the files when
+they are put into unix tarfiles, which tend to mangle the
+special characters.
