The TIFF 6.0 file format specification can be obtained by FTP from ftp://ftp.sgi.com/
graphics/tiff/TIFF6.ps.gz. The JPEG incorporation scheme found in the TIFF 6.0 spec of
3-June-92 has a number of serious problems. IJG does not recommend use of the TIFF 6.0
design (TIFF Compression tag 6). Instead, we recommend the JPEG design proposed by
TIFF Technical Note #2 (Compression tag 7). Copies of this Note can be obtained from
ftp.sgi.com or from ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/. It is expected that the next revision
of the TIFF spec will replace the 6.0 JPEG design with the Note’s design. Although
IJG’s own code does not support TIFF/JPEG, the free libtiff library uses our library to
implement TIFF/JPEG per the Note. libtiff is available from ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/
tiff/.
ARCHIVE LOCATIONS
===================
The “of fi cial” archive site for this software is ftp.uu.net (Internet address 192.48.96.9).
The most recent released version can always be found there in directory graphics/jpeg.
This particular version will be archived as ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz.
If you don’t have direct Internet access, UUNET’s archives are also available via UUCP;
contact help@uunet.uu.net for information on retrieving
fi les that way.
Numerous Internet sites maintain copies of the UUNET fi les. However, only ftp.uu.net is
guaranteed to have the latest of fi cial version.
You can also obtain this software in DOS-compatible “zip” archive format from the
SimTel archives (ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/graphics/), or on CompuServe
in the Graphics Support forum (GO CIS:GRAPHSUP), library 12 “JPEG Tools”. Again,
these versions may sometimes lag behind the ftp.uu.net release.
