+Tools Overview</font></h1>
+<p>This software distribution comes with a small collection of
+programs for converting non-TIFF format images to TIFF and for
+manipulating and interogating the contents of TIFF images. Several
+of these tools are useful in their own right. Many of them however
+are more intended to serve as programming examples for using the
+TIFF library.</p>
+<h3>Device-dependent Programs</h3>
+There are two device-dependent programs that serve as simple
+examples for writing programs to display and save TIFF images.
+<table border cellpadding="3">
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%">
+<tt>tiffgt </tt></td>
+<td>Display the contents of one or more TIFF images using OpenGL.
+The software makes extensive use of the <tt>TIFFRGBAImage</tt>
+facilities described elsewhere.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>tiffsv</tt></td>
+<td>A program to save all or part of a screen dump on a Silicon
+Graphics system. As for <tt>tiffgt</tt> this code, while written to
+use the IRIS GL, can be easily tailored to other devices.</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+<h3>Device-independent Programs</h3>
+The remaining programs should be device-independent:
+<table border cellpadding="3">
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>bmp2tiff</tt></td>
+<td>Convert BMP images to TIFF</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>fax2ps</tt></td>
+<td>Convert a Group 3- or Group 4- compressed TIFF to PostScript
+that is significantly more compressed than is generated by
+<tt>tiff2ps</tt> (unless <tt>tiff2ps</tt> writes PS Level II)</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>fax2tiff</tt></td>
+<td>Convert raw Group 3 or Group 4 facsimile data to TIFF</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>gif2tiff</tt></td>
+<td>A quick hack that converts GIF 87a format images to TIFF</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>pal2rgb</tt></td>
+<td>Convert a Palette-style image to a full color RGB image by
+applying the colormap</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>ppm2tiff</tt></td>
+<td>A quick hack that converts PPM format images to TIFF</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>ras2tiff</tt></td>
+<td>A quick hack that converts Sun rasterfile format images to TIFF
+-- it's less than complete</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>raw2tiff</tt></td>
+<td>Create a TIFF file from raw data</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>rgb2ycbcr</tt></td>
+<td>Convert an RGB, grayscale, or bilevel TIFF image to a YCbCr
+TIFF image; it's mainly provided for testing</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>sgi2tiff</tt></td>
+<td>A program to convert SGI image files to TIFF. This program is
+only useful on SGI machines as it uses <tt>-limage</tt>.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>thumbnail</tt></td>
+<td>Copy a bilevel TIFF to one that includes 8-bit greyscale
+"thumbnail images" for each page; it is provided as an example of
+how one might use the <tt>SubIFD</tt> tag (and the library support
+for it)</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>tiff2bw</tt></td>
+<td>A simple program to convert a color image to grayscale</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>tiff2pdf</tt></td>
+<td>Convert TIFF images to PDF</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>tiff2ps</tt></td>
+<td>Convert TIFF images to PostScript</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>tiff2rgba</tt></td>
+<td>Convert a TIFF image to RGBA color space</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>tiffcmp</tt></td>
+<td>Compare the contents of two TIFF files (it does not check all
+the directory information, but does check all the data)</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>tiffcp</tt></td>
+<td>Copy, concatenate, and convert TIFF images (e.g. switching from
+Compression=5 to Compression=1)</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>tiffdither</tt></td>
+<td>Dither a b&w image into a bilevel image (suitable for use
+in creating fax files)</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>tiffdump</tt></td>
+<td>Display the verbatim contents of the TIFF directory in a file
+(it's very useful for debugging bogus files that you may get from
+someone that claims they support TIFF)</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>tiffinfo</tt></td>
+<td>Display information about one or more TIFF files.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>tiffmedian</tt></td>
+<td>A version of Paul Heckbert's median cut program that reads an
+RGB TIFF image, and creates a TIFF palette file as a result; it's
+useful for converting full-color RGB images to 8-bit color for your
+friends that have cheapo 8-bit framebuffers.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>tiffset</tt></td>
+<td>Set a field in a TIFF header</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt>tiffsplit</tt></td>
+<td>Create one or more single-image files from a (possibly)
+multi-image file</td>
+</tr>
