 Program information
 -------------------
 akTIFF.datatype is a TIFF datatype, which is based on the
 TIFF reference sources (libtiff 3.8.2).

 It does support 8 Bit color mapped files (colorspace expanded to
 8 bit per component always) and True color files (24/48 Bit, alpha
 channel supported, 48 Bit 16:16:16 cut down to 24 Bit 8:8:8).
 All important compression types supported. Exotic colorspaces
 imported AS-IS and converted to RGBA, unless directly supported.

 [ More detailed description can be found in akTIFF.guide ]

 WARNING: if the pic-dt of your OS version does not support alpha channel
          handling, then always set STRIPALPHA=ON (no ARGB/RGBA)

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

 You should use the included preferences program for best configuration.

 V45.96 (01.04.2009):  - fixed "end of file" bug in internal decoder
                       - fixed bug in internal decoder for 8/16/24 bit files
                       - made sure, that specific files which libtiff cannot handle
                         without crashing are handled by the internal decoder *upfront*
                       - version string date fix

 V45.95 (30.12.2008):  - removed MOS support, as there are more
                         frequent MOS updates now and as there still
                         is no fully featured new SDK for external
                         developers; makes semi-redundant datatype
                         development finally quite pointless
                       - copyright bump
