I can answer that for you. Yes, it does. But as a workaround you can use the
EnhancedQT external to convert the JPEG to a Windows Bitmap, but it will
require your users to have QuickTime 4 or later installed.

Then use this code...
qtSaveMovieSnapShotToFile jpegImageFileName, bmpImageFileName, theWidth,
theHeight, "3600", "true", "false", "bmp"
setDesktop bmpImageFileName
Hope that helps!
