Thanks Matthew, I got a way for getting the jpeg files compressed using .Net Bitmap classes and now I am stuck up in getting these compressed files understood by the Palm os device. More or less i am looking towards a way of getting Bitmap files (8bit) compressed on desktop pc and then loaded into a pdb file and then displayed on the palm device. But it seems that nothing works fine on palm side about this compression.
Is there any material that can help me in rectifying this issue?

Right, this works, but as I said, I discovered it didn't work on some non-Palm devices and it just didn't seem worth the bother. However, it's possible that all newer devices properly support bitmap compression? This stuff changes to fast that it's hard to tell when your knowledge has gone out of date. > Could you provide me a hint on how one can display jpeg files in a palm > application when palm os does have only bitmap api? > Clie's come with a fast JPEG decompression library. As for other devices... One of my co-workers ported the Independent JPEG Group's JPEG decompression library to Palm. I don't think it's that hard to do. Or you can search previous newsgroup message for JPEG. I think someone has a free JPEG ARM library. Possibly there's a free JPEG 68k library somewhere? Else you have to port it yourself. JPEG decompression is kinda slow on 68k devices anyway. :-( -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
