- Take a look at the "JPEG decompressor? (Summary)" string in
- comp.sys.mac.apps. The current answer is that there are several
- programs which will let you view and/or convert jpeg->gif however,
- none of them are very good at color quantization (needed for viewing
- on an 8bit screen or converting to gif (gif is 8bit color). The
- Independent JPEG group release 3 software does a good job of
- color quantization, but there is no port of this software for the mac.
- (Their released code will compile with no changes on a mac using
- Think C 5.0, but has a very primitive user interface).
