I have a question to ask to which I should already know the answer, but
unfortunately do not.

Someone has sent me an early version of a program to display JPG images
on a GD2 QL system.

Has this been done before and, if so, by whom?
From what I know:

1. Photon, by Dave Westbury (JPG only)
2. Photo-QL, by Roberto Porro (BMP/GIF/JPG/PCX/TGA/PNG/PIC)
3. PQIV by Claus Graf. (PCX, PNG, PIC, TIFF, GIF and JPEG - standard version works only on Q40/Q60 but a patch by Marcel Kilgus allows it to save in QL mode 32 QPC/QXL format)

Would be interesting if the new viewer could be accessed from other programs in a direct mode like Photon, e.g.

EX new_viewer;"input.jpg" to view and EX new_viewer;"input.jpg output.file [list of options]"

this would make it available also via FileInfo 2, and any new QL graphical software could use it to load/save JPG files.
