With the help of the jpeg.datatype, your datatype sytem is able to read JPEG images.

This datatype is freeware and can be used for any purpose !


##### Why another datatype for JPEG images ? #####

Well there are many of them available on the Aminet, but this has two unbeatable
advantages !!

1. It is very short, only about 8 kB !! Why ? Because it does not contain the JPEG
de/encoder in the datatype itself.
The datatype uses the jpeg.library from Paul Huxham for the JPEG de/encoding
from the latest JPEG V6b release, so it is up-to-date.

2. It can write JPEG files when using the DTMW_RAW flag in the DTM_WRITE method !!

Changes since version 46.3
* Cleaned up ramlib-stuff (thx to Oliver Roberts).
  jpeg.library (WarpOS version) works again with datatype, no crashed with IPrefs :)
