For BMP2JPG ..... this works fine:
---BMP2JPG.BAT---
CD\1TEMP
f:\GRAPHICS\JPEG6B32\CJPEG *.bmp
?"Delete original BMPs Y/N " del *.bmp
CD\
PAUSE
MENU.BAT
__________
I have even built it directly into Arachne so that screen captures can
be converted to Jpeg without exiting to Dos. <g>
I added this line to mime.cfg
file/bmp2jpg.dgi |[100]cjpeg.exe -q 95 _4prt.bmp \n del _4prt.bmp
(you'll need cjpeg.exe in your path)
I also added 2 new buttons to \arachne\system\gui\prtbmp.ah---
(Convert) and (View JPG after conversion)
---clipped from the new prtbmp.ah---

Hey Clarence,
I hope you don't mind that I'm making your ZBM idea public. ;-)
Here it is as an Arachne "add-on feature".
Credits:
Original idea for ZBM........ Clarence
ZBM viewer add-on DGI........ Bernie, Clarence and Glenn
Conversion buttons/DGI... Glenn
;ZBM viewer add-on DGI to be placed into mime.cfg
;(you must first create the ZBM sub directory under your cache directory)
;md \arachne\cache\zbm
file/.zbm >BMP|[150]pkunzip -o $1 $azbm \n copy /b $azbm\\*.bmp $2 \n del $azbm\\*.bmp
;BMP to ZBM conversion DGI to be placed into mime.cfg
file/bmp2zbm.dgi |[150]pkzip.exe -ex scrncap.zbm _4prt.bmp \n del _4prt.bmp
Then change the buttons and text in prtbmp.ah to work with bmp2zbm.dgi
--- bmp2zbm changes ---
