Hello Matthew, I've also been using the jpegARMlet library by Matthew Fleming, and have been quite happy with it. Your reply here seems to imply that you've brewed your own version of the ARMlet. The only real problem I've had with jpegARMlet has been that it will crash if you provide it with a corrupt JPEG. Have you ever noticed this? With your experience working with the ARMlet, do you think it'd be terribly difficult to patch this? I don't have any experience with ARMlets, so I've never looked into it.
