   5 This directory contains all of the utilities and makefile source
   6 to build the LIBTIFF library and tools from the MPW Shell. The
   7 file BUILD.mpw in this directory is an executable script
   8 which uses all of these files to create the MPW makefiles and
   9 run them.

  11 The <file>.make files are not MPW makefiles as such,
  12 but are when run through the "mactrans" program, which turns
  13 the ascii "%nn" metacharacters into the standard weird MPW
  14 make characters.
  15
  16 This translation trick is necessary to protect the files when
  17 they are put into unix tarfiles, which tend to mangle the
  18 special characters.
