Thanks for the response!

How do I go about encoding to Palm's format from within a conduit? I 
know which libraries to use to decompress JPEGs, but the Palm format is 
a complete mystery to me. What API do I use to display them on the Palm?

I know this is probably obvious if you know even the basics of the Palm 
format... I suppose that's what I'm really asking... but a few searches 
through CodeWarrior's online manuals and the Palm Companion PDFs have 
revealed nothing.

The pictures are huge in terms of file size because the dimensions are 
rather large, about 300x400. I intend to scale them down to about 60x80 
or so.
