Yes, that is the latest versions.

 ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/pics-3.6.1.tar.gz


is the lates one. This is the bundle of TIFF images used to test the
library. Likely you don't need the one.

LZW algorithm is patented in some countries, so code, supporting that
compression type was moved out from the library. You need that package
if you want to create LZW-compressed TIFF files (support for
decompression are included in the library itself).

> Also is the command "tiff" or "tiffgt" ?

tiffgt is a simple TIFF viewer (you need OpenGL and GLUT libraries to
use it, it is not compiled by default). But you can use more functional
Gtk-based (or imlib-based) viewers as soon as you install all that stuff
onto your system. They will operate via libtiff.

						Best regards,
