Description:

Since RISC OS 3.6 Acorn supplies the Spriteextend module with JPEG
support, but only a few applications take care of this. Also ChangeFSI
do not use the advantages of this SWI calls. In reason that only a few
applications support JPEG loading I wrote this application for easy
converting from JPEG to a old type 8 Bit Sprite file.  New in version 2:
the colour depth of the converted Sprite can now be chosen.

Requirements

You need a copy of Acorns Toolbox libary and Acorns Spriteextend module
0.99 or higher. If you have a newer RiscOS version this is implemented
in the operating system. You can get this extension from Acorns
Internet server or some PD libarys. Most of the users should have this
extensions so I do not include this here.
