I did see your library.

So where I can > get it now? The Jpeg Library I use is at: http://www.nyctergatis.com/jpeglib/. It works perfect. It is also open source and does not have any nags.

I would also like to add PNG support. The problem is that a lot of WAP sites use GIF images as their default color images and I need to have support for a broad range of images. I was able to find a PNG/GIF library from the PiNGer app in ZBoxZ (http://palmboxer.sourceforge.net/), but the way it went about decoding, temporarily storing, and drawing did not work fro me. I tried to get it to work but I need something that, preferably, creates a BitmapPtr so that I can draw it to an offscreen window (buffer) which will be copied to the screen. Also, if there is a library it needs to be compatible with PalmOS 4.0 and up and can be compiled with GCC/PRC-Tools. I believe the JpegLib at absoluteworld uses CodeWarrior Libraries.
