5This directory contains all of the utilities and makefile source
6to build the LIBTIFF library and tools from the MPW Shell. The
7file BUILD.mpw in this directory is an executable script
8which uses all of these files to create the MPW makefiles and
9run them.
10
11The <file>.make files are not MPW makefiles as such,
12but are when run through the "mactrans" program, which turns
13the ascii "%nn" metacharacters into the standard weird MPW
14make characters.
15
16This translation trick is necessary to protect the files when
17they are put into unix tarfiles, which tend to mangle the
18special characters.
