6This file is just a placeholder; all the documentation is now in
7HTML in the html directory.  To view the documentation point your
8favorite WWW viewer at html/index.html; e.g.
9
10    netscape html/index.html
11
12If you don't have an HTML viewer then you can read the HTML source
13or fetch a PostScript version of this documentation from the directory
14
15    ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff/doc
16
17If you can't hack either of these options then basically what you
18want to do is:
19
20    % ./configure
21    % make
22    % su
23    # make install
24
25If that doesn't do what you want, or something isn't clear then
26sorry, but you're SOL.
