# Contributed TIFF Software

The contrib directory has contributed software that uses the TIFF library or which is associated with the library (typically glue and guidance for ports to non-UNIX platforms).

contrib/vms | scripts and files from Karsten Spang for building the library and tools under VMS
contrib/dbs | various tools from Dan & Chris Sears, including a simple X-based viewer
contrib/ras | two programs by Patrick Naughton for converting between Sun rasterfile format and TIFF (these require `libpixrect.a`, as opposed to the one in tools that doesn't)
contrib/mac-mpw | scripts and files from Niles Ritter for building the library and tools under Macintosh/MPW C.
contrib/acorn | scripts and files from Peter Greenham for building the library and tools on an Acorn RISC OS system.
contrib/win32 | scripts and files from Scott Wagner for building the library under Windows NT and Windows 95.
contrib/dosdjgpp | scripts and files from Alexander Lehmann for building the library under MSDOS with the DJGPP v2 compiler.
contrib/tags | scripts and files from Niles Ritter for adding private tag support at runtime, without changing libtiff.
contrib/mfs | code from Mike Johnson to read+write images in memory without modifying the library
contrib/pds | various routines from Conrad Poelman; a TIFF image iterator and code to support ``private sub-directories''

Don't send me mail asking about this stuff; I frequently know absolutely nothing about it. Send questions and/or bug reports directly to the authors.
