Howdy!

This is the first time I've been directly referenced by someone... my goal of 
some day becoming more well known than Ben Combee may actually come true! ;-P

The PalmOS port of the C code is almost identical in file structure to the C 
code itself.  Documentation on the Independent JPEG Group's code may come in 
handy.

Truth be told, I never really understood the file structure, either.  In my 
project I simply include one of the pre-built ARMC resources.  I believe the 
resource I used is located at Palm/testArmlet2/ARMC0001.bin in the ZIP file.

I'll upload the source code to my JPEGView program to see if it helps you 
understand that specific ARMlet a little better.  You will not be able to 
compile JPEGView as-is due to it using an in-house code library.

The original author of the port is the man to ask - Matthew Fleming.  I wonder 
if he's still around...

The code for JPEGView is available from:

The JPEG decoder ARMlet will work on any PalmOS 5+ device.  Any application 
which uses this decoder could be PalmOS 3-4 compatible if a 68k JPEG decoder 
was written and appropriate tests placed in the code.
