This is release 4 of the port of TIFF library and tools 3.8.2 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

  DJGPP specific changes.
  =======================

  The release of this port fixes bugs reported at debian if they are djgpp
  specific too.  This release requires the use of the djgpp's CVS version of
  snprintf not available at djdev203p2, so it has been added.  The debian
  patch that has been adapted to fix the different issues reported at the
  dabian mailing list is available at:
    <http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/tiff/tiff_3.8.2-7.diff.gz>
  Apart from these changes only the usual configuration files have been added,
  especialy sed scripts to fix the libtool files (ltmain and ltconfig).  They
  are located in the /djgpp subdir.  As for all binaries and libraries that
  handle images of any kind, it should be noticed that files (streams) are
  *always* openend in binary mode with all the well known implications on a
  DOS/WINDOWS OS if the stream is connected to STDIN and/or STDOUT when these
  are still connected to the console.

  To configure and compile the package and later to use it, you will have
  to install the zlib, ljpeg6b and the png port available at ftp.delorie.com
  and mirrors as:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/zlib123b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/png1222b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/ljpeg6b.zip
  or:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/zlib123b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/png1222b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/ljpeg6b.zip
  Of course, you can download a newer version of zlib, png and ljpeg if
  available.  The zlib, png and ljpeg stored in /current have been compiled
  with djdev203 and are intented for use with Win98SE. Those ones from /beta
  are compiled with djdeb204 beta for the use with WinXP-SP2.

  BTW, this time I have used upx --best instead of --ultra-brute to compress
  the binaries.

  Please **read** the docs.  There are no info formated docs.  All the extensive
  documentation is html formated and placed in /share/doc/tiff-3.8-2/html


  The port consists of two packages that have been compiled using djdev203 and
  that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2007-11-02):

    LibTIFF 3.8.2 binaries, headers, libs and man/html formated documentation:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/tiff382b.zip

    LibTIFF 3.8.2 source:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/tiff382s.zip


  For the convenience of the WinXP users the binaries has been produced
  a second time using the djdev204 beta library. This package is available
  at ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2007-11-02):

    LibTIFF 3.8.2 binaries, headers, libs and man/html formated documentation:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/tiff382b.zip


  Send TIFF library specific bug reports to <tiff AT lits DOT maptools DOT org>.
  Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port to
  comp.os.msdos.djgpp or <djgpp AT delorie DOT com>.


Enjoy.
