     5 --------------------------
       
     6 This file is just a placeholder; all the documentation is now in
       
     7 HTML in the html directory.  To view the documentation point your
       
     8 favorite WWW viewer at html/index.html; e.g.
       
     9 
       
    10     netscape html/index.html
       
    11 
       
    12 If you don't have an HTML viewer then you can read the HTML source
       
    13 or fetch a PostScript version of this documentation from the directory
       
    14 
       
    15     ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/
       
    16 
       
    17 If you can't hack either of these options then basically what you
       
    18 want to do is:
       
    19 
       
    20     % ./configure
       
    21     % make
       
    22     % su
       
    23     # make install
       
    24 
       
    25 More information, email contacts, and mailing list information can be 
       
    26 found online at http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/.
