-
- There are a lot of people in the graphics community who refer to files
- compressed with the JPEG method as "JPEG files," which is what started
- all this. Which is easier: To eradicate HSI files and/or rename them,
- or to educate the populace into calling their files JFIF files instead
- of JPEG? :)

- I believe that GIF2JPG is the only program that produces these files by
- default. Alchemy can produce them as well, but only if you ask it to
- (--j option).
