   8 favorite WWW viewer at html/index.html;

  10 e.g.
  11
  12     firefox html/index.html

  14 If you don't have an HTML viewer then you can read the HTML source
  15 or fetch a PostScript version of this documentation from the directory
  16
  17     ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/

  19 If you can't hack either of these options then basically what you

  22     % ./configure
  23     % make
  24     % su
  25     # make install
