+Contributed TIFF Software
+
+The contrib directory has contributed software that
+uses the TIFF library or which is associated with the library
+(typically glue and guidance for ports to non-UNIX platforms, or tools that
+aren't directly TIFF related).

+
| +contrib/vms + | ++scripts and files from Karsten Spang for building + the library and tools under VMS + | +
| +contrib/dbs + | ++various tools from Dan & Chris Sears, including a simple X-based viewer + | +
| +contrib/ras + | ++two programs by Patrick Naughton for converting + between Sun rasterfile format and TIFF (these + require libpixrect.a, as opposed to the one in + tools that doesn't) + | +
|
+contrib/mac-mpw +contrib/mac-cw + |
++scripts and files from Niles Ritter for building +the library and tools under Macintosh/MPW C and +code warrior. + | +
| +contrib/acorn + | ++scripts and files from Peter Greenham for building + the library and tools on an Acorn RISC OS system. + | +
| +contrib/win32 + | ++scripts and files from Scott Wagner for building +the library under Windows NT and Windows 95. (The makefile.vc in the +libtiff/libtiff directory may be sufficient for most users.) + | +
| +contrib/win_dib + | ++two separate implementations of TIFF to DIB code suitable for any Win32 +platform. Contributed by Mark James, and Philippe Tenenhaus. + | +
| +contrib/ojpeg + | ++Patch for IJG JPEG library related to support for some Old JPEG in TIFF files. +Contributed by Scott Marovich. + | +
| +contrib/dosdjgpp + | ++scripts and files from Alexander Lehmann for building + the library under MSDOS with the DJGPP v2 compiler. + | +
| +contrib/tags + | ++scripts and files from Niles Ritter for adding private + tag support at runtime, without changing libtiff. + | +
| +contrib/mfs + | ++code from Mike Johnson to read+write images in memory +without modifying the library + | +
| +contrib/pds + | ++various routines from Conrad Poelman; a TIFF image iterator and + code to support ``private sub-directories'' + | +
| +contrib/iptcutil + | + ++ +A utility by Bill Radcliffe to +convert an extracted IPTC Newsphoto caption from a binary blob to +ASCII text, and vice versa. IPTC binary blobs can be extracted from +images via the ImageMagick convert(1) +utility. + + + | +
| +contrib/addtiffo + | + ++ +A utility (and supporting subroutine) for building +one or more reduce resolution +overviews to an existing TIFF file. Supplied by +Frank Warmerdam. + + | +
| +contrib/stream + | + ++ +A class (TiffStream) for accessing TIFF files through a C++ stream +interface. Supplied by Avi Bleiweiss. + + | +
+Questions regarding these packages are usually best directed toward +their authors. + +
