fixit_tiff comes with  two parts: 
- checkit_tiff to check (baseline) TIFFs to specific rulesets. 
  The rulesets are human readable and could be adapted to own needs.
- fixit_tiff to repair broken TIFFs (pE. wrong tagorder, wrong datetime, clean tags)

The tools are developed for purposes of curation and longterm preservation

fixit_tiff:
- fixes a TIFF file with wrong metadata
- needs a Linux or an AIX system with installed libtiff4
  (crosscompiling to Windows should work, too)
- compile it with: make clean; make all; make strip
- help comes with option "fixit_tiff -h"

checkit_tiff:

- needs a Linux or an AIX system with installed libtiff4
