	Recently, I posted an article asking about the availability of JPEG 
schemes for UNIX boxes.  Here is a summary of the responses I received:

Tom Lane from CMU writes:

I don't know about commercial products for Unix, but I'm leading a
group that's working on a *free* implementation of JPEG.  We're not
very far along yet, but if you can wait a few months we should have
quite a decent implementation.

Mark Connel of Solbourne Computer, Inc. uses a program called Image
Alchemy which implements JPEG Compression (and lots of other file 
formats).  He sent me the user's manual; info is available from:

In case you are interested, there is alchemy14.tar.Z in titan.rice.edu? in
incoming/ directory.  alchemy cvts jpeg, at least on a PC. 

	It was also suggested that comp.compression would be a good place 
to look.
