# Contributed TIFF Software

##### This documentation is best viewed using a graphical browser that supports the latest HTML directives for formatting documents. In particular, this document was authored for viewing with version 1.1 or newer of the Netscape Navigator.

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 | a simple X-based TIFF viewer from Dan & Chris Sears
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.
