Re: Loading a jpeg.

I posted a somewhat similar question entitled "Displaying a JPG image that
is already loaded in memory" and according to Don Woodward  - 4/21/2004
11:28PM he stated...."There is a bug in the documentation for CascadeBitmap
that says it can load jpeg files directly; in fact in only operates on png
files."

But at around that same time, Anthony Wood also responded with a comment and
the source code to 'showjpg.cpp' which contains enough information for you
to be able to display jpg images.....
