   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
