GIFconverter 2.3b2 (I think thats the latest beta release) reads JPG files. The benefit to gifconverter is (contrary to what its name implies) that it reads several formats (tiff, pict, jpg, gif and some others) and can do conversions to and from any format that it supports. There is also another utility called pictpixie that's fairly good - can be found on ftp.apple.com in (I think) /dts/mac/quicktime. This is free whereas gifconverter if your conscience so dictates is $30 shareware. pictpixie has an annoying problem with freezing your system if it encounters corrupt .jpg or .gif files. It freezes so severely that I can't drop into macsbug using the IIci programmers switch. for me this doesn't happen too often though. -bret
