+TIFF Software Distribution
+--------------------------
+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.
+
+    netscape 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/.
