I would like to see a 1 page or shorter specification of JPEG with an
eye towards a conceptual understanding of the underlying data
compression technique.  I'm sorry to say that I'm too impatient
to order the authoritative treatise on JPEG in the mail, and our
library doesn't have the book on image compression by Rabbani and Jones.

Can someone who knows post or e-mail the information?  Thanks in
advance for any information you can provide.

I should mention that it would be good if there were an archive
available on the net which lists concise specifications of the data
formats of various compression programs and standards, such as
compress(1), PKZIP, Group 3 FAX, JPEG, etc.
