- I've received three replies, and the situation remains confusing.
-
- I'll summarize and then end with a question --
- Is there an ftp'able Photo-JPEG decompressor available outside
- Quicktime 1.5?
-
- Two replies, from Craig Steele (steele@vlsi.cs.caltech.edu) and Maynard
- Handley (maynard@lynx.msc.cornell.edu), explained that Quicktime 1.5
- solves the problem, and that QT 1.5 runs for them under System 7.0.1.
-
- It seems that 20 of the photos are in Quicktime PICT format, for which
- Quicktime 1.0 is sufficient. The 5 that I can't see require both
- Quicktime and a Photo-JPEG decompressor (which is apparently in QT 1.5).
-
- The third reply muddied the waters again.

- Moreover, Maynard Handley, who sees all the images with QT1.5 under
- 7.0.1, wrote that he has "an SE/30 so earlier ROM rev than a IIci."
-
- I myself have not been able to run QT1.5 under 7.0.1. It refuses to
- load (even with no other extensions around except tuneup 1.1.1).
- Could this be because I run the Icelandic version of 7.0.1?
-
- So, is there an ftp'able Photo-JPEG decompressor available outside
- Quicktime 1.5?
-
- I'm fiddling with HST Greatest Hits for my wife, who would like to give
- it to her physics students.
-
- thanks again for any help,
