Just wondering if there are any archive sites with JPEG pictures? Or would anyone care to mail me some? I just recieved a copy of the Kodak Colorsqueeze viewer for the mac. It claims JPEG compatability. Now to try it out on some JPEG files. -- UUCP:harvard-\ att--\ | Sysop Mad Mac BBS(608)221-3841 ucbvax!uwvax!astroatc!nicmad!pophal | Gerry Pophal(608)271-3333ext2091 rutgers--/ rolls--/ | Nicolet Instrument Corp. ames--/ decvax-/ | Madison, Wis 53711-0451

In spite of the marketing claims to the contrary, none of the "JPEG" compression programs for the Mac (include Colorsqueeze, Radius's ImpressIt or Storm Technology's PicturePress) are compatible with each other and none compress to true JPEG, which as far as I know hasn't been completed yet. The only images you will be able to read are those compressed by the Colorsqueeze software. See the review of JPEG compressors in the April 23, 1991 issue of MacWeek for more details.
