SwiftJPEG uses Acorn's SpriteExtend module in RISC OS 3.6 or higher, to allow access to the extremely fast JPEG display facilities of the operating system. Because the SpriteExtend module creates a 'Dynamic Area', a concept that did not exist before RISC OS 3.5, this application will only work on Risc PCs.
It is useful because although !Paint and !Draw will both load JPEGs, they have drawbacks for general picture viewing.
RISC OS 3.5 users will also need the updated SpriteExtend module, which can be downloaded from the Acorn FTP site. See the SpriteExtend section for more details.

Last but not least, I shouldn't finish without saying thanks to various people, and mention that for best results, you should use a browser that supports anti-aliasing of fonts and set the width of your browser window to anything you find convenient ;-)
