	TIFFRES -- Tiff Resolution Tag Utility
				(c) Peter Langston <psl@acm.org> 2/95
	Version 1.2 6/15/95

Tiffres is a utility to inspect and/or set the values of the X & Y resolution
tags in TIFF files.  I wrote it out of frustration with programs that
mis-encode specified resolutions (e.g. Icon, Pixelist ... oh, hi Keith). 

	Usage: tiffres [-r[=#.#]] [-v] [-x[=#.#]] [-y[=#.#]] tiff-file [...]
	-r      prints the current x & y resolutions.
	-r=400  sets both the x & y resolutions to 400 dpi.
	-v      verbose output.
	-x      prints the current x resolution.
	-y      prints the current y resolution.
	-x=12.3 sets the x resolution to 12.3 dpi.
	-y=300  sets the y resolution to 300 dpi.
	The exit status is a count of errors.
