direct Internet access, UUNET's archives are also available via UUCP; contact

help@uunet.uu.net for information on retrieving files that way.

 

Numerous Internet sites maintain copies of the UUNET files.  However, only

ftp.uu.net is guaranteed to have the latest official version.

 

You can also obtain this software in DOS-compatible "zip" archive format from

the SimTel archives (ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/graphics/), or

on CompuServe in the Graphics Support forum (GO CIS:GRAPHSUP), library 12

"JPEG Tools".  Again, these versions may sometimes lag behind the ftp.uu.net

release.

 

The JPEG FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) article is a useful source of

general information about JPEG.  It is updated constantly and therefore is

not included in this distribution.  The FAQ is posted every two weeks to

Usenet newsgroups comp.graphics.misc, news.answers, and other groups.

It is available on the World Wide Web at http://www.faqs.org/faqs/jpeg-faq/

and other news.answers archive sites, including the official news.answers

archive at rtfm.mit.edu: ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/jpeg-faq/.

If you don't have Web or FTP access, send e-mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu

RELATED SOFTWARE

================

 

Numerous viewing and image manipulation programs now support JPEG.  (Quite a

few of them use this library to do so.)  The JPEG FAQ described above lists

some of the more popular free and shareware viewers, and tells where to

obtain them on Internet.

 

If you are on a Unix machine, we highly recommend Jef Poskanzer's free

PBMPLUS software, which provides many useful operations on PPM-format image

files.  In particular, it can convert PPM images to and from a wide range of

other formats, thus making cjpeg/djpeg considerably more useful.  The latest

version is distributed by the NetPBM group, and is available from numerous

sites, notably ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/graphics/graphics/packages/NetPBM/.

Unfortunately PBMPLUS/NETPBM is not nearly as portable as the IJG software is;

you are likely to have difficulty making it work on any non-Unix machine.

 

A different free JPEG implementation, written by the PVRG group at Stanford,

is available from ftp://havefun.stanford.edu/pub/jpeg/.  This program

is designed for research and experimentation rather than production use;

it is slower, harder to use, and less portable than the IJG code, but it

is easier to read and modify.  Also, the PVRG code supports lossless JPEG,

which we do not.  (On the other hand, it doesn't do progressive JPEG.)
