	Well, I'm wondering if Stac has copied Superstor 3.0 and included
JPEG image compression into their software.  Now, while this is nice if you
want compressed images at a quality LOSS, I personally am not willing to
sacrifice quality for disk space.  For those who have either Stacker of
Superstor, can you turn off the JPEG image compression?  I mean, if I
wanted JPEGs then I would have converted my GIFs myself.
