Hello, Am looking for anyone knowing anything about the new compression technique known as JPG for compressing GIF files on MS-DOS machines. Is there a convert program for the Amiga that works with this format? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Replys may be sent to jones@plains.nodak.edu Thanks

There's a JPEG - it's entirely different from GIF, and there's some group working on free converters etc attached to the comp.graphics newsgroup. > Replys may be sent to jones@plains.nodak.edu -- *** John Bickers, TAP, NZAmigaUG. jbickers@templar.actrix.gen.nz *** *** "Endless variations, make it all seem new" - Devo. ***

I doubt that any software supports this on the Amiga platform yet. But it shouldn't be long. Followup redirected to comp.sys.amiga.graphics.
