There are two versions of WinJPEG: a 386 version for 386's or better and

INSTALLATION NOTES
If you associate a file extension with WinJPEG, you can double click on
a file with that extension in File Manager and WinJPEG will
automatically display that file. There are two ways to associate an
extension with WinJPEG. The easiest way is to run File Manager, to
click on a file with the desired extension, and to select the Associate
command from the File Menu. Then type "winjpeg.exe" with the
appropriate path (e.g. c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe). The other way is to
modify the Extensions section of the "win.ini" file in your Windows
directory. Your "win.ini" may look like this after you modify it:
[Extensions]
...
jpg=c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe ^.jpg
gif=c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe ^.gif
tga=c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe ^.tga
bmp=c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe ^.bmp
pcx=c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe ^.pcx
tif=c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe ^.tif
Note that you don't have to use the suggested extensions (e.g. you can use
.jpe instead of .jpg); WinJPEG will automatically detect the file format.
If you are using Windows 3.0, you must copy "commdlg.dll" and
"shell.dll" to your Windows system directory(e.g. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM).
If WinJPEG 2.0 GPF's, we recommend that you restart Windows before
running WinJPEG again.
HOW TO ACCESS ON-LINE HELP
Help for menu commands can be accessed by 1) using the Index command
under the Help menu, 2) pressing shift-F1 and selecting an active menu
item, or 3) selecting an active menu item without releasing the mouse
button, pressing the F1 key, and then releasing the mouse button. Topics
such as JPEG formats, corrupt GIF files, how to obtain updates, etc. are
also accessible under the Index command.
HOW TO REGISTER
If you use WinJPEG for more than 14 days, you are expected to register
WinJPEG. When you register, you will receive the latest 286 and 386
versions of WinJPEG, a user manual, and a collection of JPEG images (we
will put as many as we can fit on 2 720k 3 1/2" floppies, on 1 1.44M
3 1/2" floppy, or on 4 360k 5 1/4" floppies). Also, the registered
version does not have the reminder-to-register screen at the start.
The registration fee is only $20. MA residents, add 5% sales tax to the
registration fee. US residents, add $3 for shipping and handling;
non-US residents, add $8 for shipping and handling. If you want
WinJPEG e-mailed to your account instead of having it physically mailed
to you, there is no extra shipping charge. For e-mail registrations,
you need a utility called "uudecode" to decode the uuencoded file that
we e-mail to you. Note that the uuencoded file is rather large; it is
greater than 500k for WinJPEG v.2.0. Compuserve users may find it less
expensive to receive WinJPEG via U.S. Mail.
Registrations with the incorrect fee or with non-US currency will be
returned.
Because of the lengthy time it takes to produce a new version and to
distribute it to registered users, updates are no longer free. Updates
will cost $5. Those who initially received version 1.6 when they
registered can obtain the next update for free. Shipping fees described
above apply to updates as well. Updates are available when you see a
new shareware version.
To register, complete the order form and send a check in US funds to:
Norman Yee
58 Chandler St.
Boston, MA 02116
