This file +is a link to the appropriate released version (so don't waste your time +retrieving the linked file as well!) Any files of the form tiff-v3.4-patch* +are shell scripts that can be used to patch older versions of the +source code. For example, the file tiff-v3.4-patch01 would contain +patches to update tiff-v3.4-tar.Z. Patch files only work to go between +consecutive versions, so if you are multiple versions behind the latest +release, you will need to apply each patch file between your current +version and the latest. + + +Obtaining the Software by Electronic Mail +----------------------------------------- +Do not send me requests for the software; they will be ignored (without +response). If you cannot use FTP at all, there is a service called +"ftpmail" available from decwrl.dec.com: you can send e-mail to +this machine and it will use FTP to retrieve files for you and send you +the files back again via e-mail. To find out more about the ftpmail +service, send a message to "ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com" whose body +consists of the single line "help". + + +What to do Once You've Retrieved Stuff +-------------------------------------- +The software comes in a compressed tar file. To extract the +information: + + zcat tiff-v3.4-tar.Z | tar xf - + +(uncompress and extract individual files in current directory). + +There is also a companion compressed tar file, v3.0pics.tar.Z +that has sample TIFF image files. These are mostly useful in +testing the software if/when you port it to an unsupported system. + + +TIFF Mailing List +----------------- +A mailing list for users of this software is located on sgi.com. +If you want to join this mailing list or have a list-related request +such as getting your name removed from it, send a request to + + tiff-request@sgi.com + +For example, to subscribe, send the line "subscribe" in the body of +your message. The line "help" will return a list of the commands +understood by the mailing list management software. + +Submissions (including bug reports) should be directed to: + + tiff@sgi.com + +When corresponding about this software please always specify what +version you have and what system you're running on. -- cgit v1.2.3
