A copy of the 6.0 specification is available by public ftp at

ftp://ftp.onshore.com/pub/libtiff/TIFF6.ps.Z

This is a PostScript version of the final 6.0 specification compressed with the standard UNIX compress(1) program. An uncompressed PostScript file is also available as TIFF6.ps in the same directory.

Adobe provides the 6.0 spec online in Acrobat format (PDF); this can be found at
