Hi!
Yesterday I downloaded a couple of JPEG images of Hubble's newest photos
of Pluto from an astronomical site.  I tried to decompress the images
with PEGGER and the program said "Unable to decompress -- File is not
24-bitplane".  Then I tried DJPeg and ImageEngineer and they both choked
on these files as well!  Then I tried AutoPEG, and it liked the files
and decompressed them OK...So does anybody have any idea what it might
be about these JPEG files that PEGGER, et. al. doesn't like?  Is AutoPEG
really "smarter"?  And how would other programs like ADPro, etc. handle
these files?
 
                        -- Dave (DaveH47@delphi.com)
 
P.S. One thing I forgot to mention...These files *were* of a weird size:
675x800 I think...(Does anyone know of a good PD/Shareware program for getting)
biggie images like this to Amiga-friendly size?)
