  <p>
    This software provides support for the <i>Tag Image File Format</i> (TIFF),
    a widely used format for storing image data.  The latest version of
    the TIFF specification is <a href="document.html">available on-line</a>
    in several different formats.
  </p>
  <p>
    Included in this software distribution is a library, libtiff, for reading
    and writing TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing simple
    manipulations of TIFF images, and documentation on the
    library and tools.  Libtiff is a portable software, it was built and
    tested on various systems: UNIX flavors (Linux, BSD, Solaris, MacOS X),
    Windows, OpenVMS.  It should be possible to port libtiff and additional
    tools on other OSes.
  </p>
  <p>
    The library, along with associated tool programs, should handle most of
    your needs for reading and writing TIFF images on 32- and 64-bit
    machines.  This software can also be used on older 16-bit systems
    though it may require some effort and you may need to leave out some of
    the compression support.
  </p>
  <p>
    The software was originally authored and maintained by Sam Leffler.
    While he keeps a fatherly eye on the mailing list, he is no longer
    responsible for day to day maintenance.
  </p>
  <p>
    Questions should be sent to the TIFF mailing list:
    <a href="mailto:tiff@lists.maptools.org">tiff@lists.maptools.org</a>, with
    a subscription interface at
    <a href="http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/tiff">http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/tiff</a>.
