The JPG compression algorithm is patented (I think by IBM), that's why the
PNG format arose, it was carefully developed so it uses only unpatentable
algorithms. There's a JPG group that has developed a DLL library that allows
JPG file manipulation. I don't remeber it's URL, but just use Yahoo for a
simple search. You can get more information about compression issues on some
usenets (don't ask me which, just search).
