The images are already in JPEG format, and this product has to be cross platform. While I agree one converter is less than a JPEG decompressor, I suspect writing converters for Windows, Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X would be more work. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
