1. JPEG Hell!!!
So far, Ive been able to do most of the things with Euphoria that I could
possibly want to. Except for one thing... I bet it'd take a real genious to
do this one, so... I need an .e file to read JPEGs! I can do everything
else, just not that!!! If anyone can help with this, please respond.

2. Re: JPEG Hell!!!
I'd also like to see a JPEG loader. How about a JPEG writer? It's a free
license.
I COULD try to do that, but I'm not promising anything. After all, you can post
your programs onto my new mailing list, ZIPped or otherwise.
By the way, does anyone here have Mix Software Power C?

that's just the thing... no one can because of licensing and crap like
that... (is it free? not to my knowledge... okay to read, not write? I
dunno....)

No, Bonn, your absolutely wrong. It's the GIF file format that you need a
license for, not the JPEG. How come the JPEG guys give the source code away
to read and write the JPEG format for free then?

Nate: You're right. Some company (which won't be named here)
wants everybody to pay to use the GIF format.
That's why jpg's and png's are replacing gif's on the Web.
Now, if you can find a copy of the source code - it will be in C, I'll
bet, -
so translation to Euphoria should be no big deal. Take a look around,
see
what you can find.

6. Re: JPEG Hell!!!
I once thought of creating a JPEG reader, but could not find any file format
specification to guide me. Anyway, to make a JPEG reader useful, I think
someone would have to write a routine to convert from RGB to 256-color (unless
you are using one of the truecolor modes).
BTW, I am currently working on a PNG reader, but could none of my image
editing softwares saves PNG images, so it's hard for me to test my routines.
Does anyone know of a good (freeware) program that can save PNGs?

Oh, I thought you needed a license for both the GIF and JPEG format...
Why haven't I come across it yet?... Kewl... gotta find it.
