+<p><i>Fax2tiff</i> creates a <small>TIFF</small> file
+containing <small>CCITT</small> Group 3 or Group 4 encoded
+data from one or more files containing
+&lsquo;&lsquo;raw&rsquo;&rsquo; Group 3 or Group 4 encoded
+data (typically obtained directly from a fax modem). By
+default, each row of data in the resultant
+<small>TIFF</small> file is 1-dimensionally encoded and
+padded or truncated to 1728 pixels, as needed. The resultant
+image is a set of low resolution (98 lines/inch) or medium
+resolution (196 lines/inch) pages, each of which is a single
+strip of data. The generated file conforms to the
+<small>TIFF</small> Class F ( <small>FAX</small> )
+specification for storing facsimile data. This means, in
+particular, that each page of the data does <b>not</b>
+include the trailing <i>return to control</i> (
+<small>RTC</small> ) code; as required for transmission by
+the <small>CCITT</small> Group 3 specifications. The old,
+&lsquo;&lsquo;classic&rsquo;&rsquo;, format is created if
+the <b>&minus;c</b> option is used. (The Class F format can
+also be requested with the <b>&minus;f</b> option.)</p>
+<!-- INDENTATION -->
+<p>The default name of the output image is <i>fax.tif</i>;
+this can be changed with the <b>&minus;o</b> option. Each
+input file is assumed to be a separate page of facsimile
+data from the same document. The order in which input files
+are specified on the command line is the order in which the
+resultant pages appear in the output file.</p>
