7HTML in the html directory.  To view the documentation point your
8favorite WWW viewer at html/index.html;

10e.g.
11
12    firefox html/index.html

14If you don't have an HTML viewer then you can read the HTML source
15or fetch a PostScript version of this documentation from the directory
16
17    ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/

19If you can't hack either of these options then basically what you
20want to do is:

23    % make
24    % su
25    # make install
