Eastman Kodak has a product called COLORSQUEEZ that can do JPEG
compression/decompression.  However you should know that although
there is a standard of sorts for JPEG there is not a similar
standard for a JPEG file format.  Therefore I do not think you will
be able to read the COLORSQUEEZ output into another program that
'reads' JPEG.  Fortunately COLORSQUEEZ also can read and write
TIFF and Apples own PICT formats.
