From: "Bob Olivier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: Jpegtrans I got the batch jpegtrans to work in rp calculator by putting the directory that contains the source jpegs at the top level of my disk, eg: C:\myjpegs\ If the directory is too far down, for example, C:\RealStuff\NewStuff\HotStuff\Images\myjpegs\ , it errors out because the path is too long (for the parameter in the call to the DOS program?) The batch jpegtrans in rp calculator will create a new subdirectory for you, called new_images, in the directory your jpegs are in. The translated jpegs will be in the subdirectory. They will look the same, but will be optimized to better tolerate lost packets during transmission.
