  I am trying to get my company interested in compression.  To date
I have not seen any PD image compressing routines so far.  I hate to 
tell you this but most companies that develop such code are quite
likely to guard it as proprietary.  

  I think your best bet is to get yourself a copy of the draft
JPEG standard and try yourself.  

  I know that Texas Instruments "Theory, Algorithms, and Implementations
Vol III."  Has an example of DCT with the C30 and C25.  That would
be a good starting point.  

  Also check out the comp.compression group.
