I just picked up a second-hand copy of ADPro v2.5 and to my surprise, 
found that the supplied -updated- JPEG loader can't recognize jpegs that 
include Photoshop or Applemark header hunks (I'm not too savvy with the 
fileformat tech stuff, but I think those are just hunks added by the 
software which saves or creates the image).  Those are just two examples, 
it may be that it doesn't recognize anything but vanilla jpeg files.

This is rather silly since my oooold version of ADPro (v2.0.1) could at 
least recognize, load and manipulate those jpegs with Photoshop 
identifiers in the header (though it does balk at those with Applemark ids).

This is progress?

I even tried an unregistered copy of HamLab and it reads, loads and 
manipulates them all, albeit with a warning that it doesn't recognize the 
JFIF revision for some of them.

A'right...bitching over with, does anyone know where I can get a 
non-braindead jpeg loader for use with ADPro?  I'm not sure if ASDG is 
still around, or still supporting the Amiga, or if they bother with 
people who buy their products second-hand, so any info would be useful.

Thanks.
