+This is software provides support for the Tag Image Format (TIFF).
+Included is a library, libtiff, for reading and writing TIFF, a
+collection of tools for doing simple manipulations of TIFF images, and
+documentation on the library and tools. A random assortment of
+TIFF-related software contributed by others is also included.
+
+The library, along with associated tool programs, should handle most of
+your needs for reading and writing files that follow the 5.0 or 6.0
+TIFF spec. There is also considerable support for some of the more
+esoteric portions of the 6.0 TIFF spec.
