But you won't have the original image. An especially in images with sharp
edges (which occur often in MSX pictures!) you will lose _lots_ of detail
even if you use 90% quality -- it's simply a consequence of the compression
method used. Just try it: make a simple image, preferably on your MSX :-):
a purple square on a yellow background. Save it as bitmap, and convert it to
a JPG. There is NO way you will retain the sharp edges in the JPG...
