- Define viewable format. All the picture viewers I use on my PC allow me to
- view JPEGS directly, no need to convert them to GIFs or anything else.
-
- I think one reason that a lot of BBS's don't like JPEG's is that their "cute"
- advertisments in the corner of the pictures get mangled by the JPEG compression.
-
- BTW, GIFLITE also uses a lossy compression scheme.
