Introduction
************

Starting with OS Release 3 the Amiga has the concept of `datatypes', which
allow reading and viewing files of different types and formats.  MultiView
utilizes these datatypes and displays any file for which you have a data
types class installed.  Already supplied on your Workbench disk is the ILBM
datatype for loading regular IFF-ILBM pictures.

Using this TIFF datatype you can enhance the functionality of MultiView and
other datatypes-aware applications.

TIFF Files (Tag Image File Format) are files commonly used in the
graphic computer world (Mac, Sun, NeXT, IBM)

this TIFF Datatype is compatible with the 6.0 specs of TIFF.

supported TIFF:
 -multiple image TIFF
 -1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,24,32 Bit
 -Line-art, gray, palette images, 24 bit color RGB, 32 Bit color CMYK.
