This is a port of library TIFF 3.9.4 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

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

  This port requires the use of the CVS version of snprintf.  Other minor djgpp
  specific changes are documented in the diffs file.  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
  directory.  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, ljpeg8b 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/png143b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/jpeg8b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/jbig20b.zip
  or:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/zlib123b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/png143b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/jpeg8b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/jbig20b.zip
  Of course, you can download a newer version of zlib, png and jpeg if
  available.  The zlib, png and jpeg stored in /current have been compiled
  with djdev203 and those ones from /beta are compiled with djgpp204 beta.

  Please note that due to DOS/DJGPP specific issues that I was not able to
  solve, you will have to use /djgpp/makeTIFF.sh to compile the sources.  This
  shell script simple changes into the different directories and compile the
  libraries and binaries one by one starting the Makefile in that particular
  directory.  Compiling the whole sources from the top src directory starting
  the top level Makefile will not result in the complite compilation of the
  sources.  I do not know if the file descriptors become exhausted or if
  something is wrong with bash, make or binutils but even with FILES=250
  set in config.nt it was not possible to me to compile the whole package
  starting with the top src directory Makefile.

  
  Please read the docs.  There are no info formated docs.  All the extensive
  documentation is html formated and placed in /share/doc/libtiff3.9-4/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 2010-09-14):

    library TIFF 3.9.4 binaries, headers, libs and man/html formated documentation:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/tiff394b.zip

    library TIFF 3.9.4 source:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/tiff394s.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 2010-09-10):
