Well, I wasn't going to release this quite yet, but since my GS died
yesterday, I thought I'd release what I've got, since it may be some
time before I can work on it again :(  

The file jpeg.v6.shk is a ShrinkIt archive of a port of the 
Independent JPEG Group's freeware JPEG compression/decompression
software version 6.

Note: this is not an image viewer.  It will convert JPEG images into
or from GIF, PPM/PGM, Targa, and BMP (both Windows & OS/2) images.

jpeg.v6.shk also contains programs that will read/write comments in
JPEG images, and a program to perform lossless transcoding between
JPEG image formats (i.e. baseline to progressive).

Djpeg works quite well, I think.  It produced nice images from every
JPEG image I tried it on.

Cjpeg might have some problems.  I was able to compress images, but
they were slightly longer than they should have been.  The images
decompressed back into acceptable images, but had some extra pixels.

The other 3 programs (jpegtran, rdjpgcom, wrjpgcom) were largely
untested.  I was able to run jpegtran a couple of times, and it
appeared to work.  I wasn't able to use the others, but they are
not nearly as complex as the converters, so they should work.

Requires:
	An Apple IIgs.
	GNO or ORCA shell.
	2MB of memory (it will probably run with a little less, but
		it will then need LOTS of disk space)
	About xxxKB of disk space for the complete installation.
	Images to convert.

Recommended:
	An accelerator (of course :)
	A hard drive.
	4MB+ of memory.
	A Second Sight card to view your converted images with.
	
Enjoy :)
