jpeGS 1.0

jpeGS is a freeware JPEG image viewer for the Apple IIgs.  jpeGS is
based on version 6 of the Independent JPEG Group's JPEG decompression
code.  

Requires:
	- GS/OS 6.0.1	
	- 1.25MB of RAM (although you won't be able to do much in
	  1.25MB, so 2MB is probably a more realistic minimum)

Recommended:
	- Second Sight video card.
	- 4MB (or more) of RAM.
	- An accelerator.
	- A hard drive.

jpeGS supports the Second Sight video card, as well as being able
to display images on the 320x200x16 SHR screen in either color or
grayscale.

Unfortunately, since the IJG code is written entirely in C, jpeGS
is quite slow, so it will help greatly if you have 1) an
accelerator, and 2) something else to do while the image is
being decompressed :)

On the other hand, jpeGS is capable of producing very high quality
images.  I was very surprised with some of the results in the 16
color mode!

Enjoy!
