- Before anyone gets too excited, it may be worth pointing out that as a JPEG
- viewer this program is not exactly "super fast". I clock it at about half
- the speed of DVPEG, which itself is much slower than 386-specific programs
- like Hiview. And IMGFUN's picture quality is decidedly worse --- looks like
- it uses a fixed colormap instead of a two-pass quantizer.
-
- Possibly the other functions of the program may be of some use.
