What do we do with Jpeg2000 files to make them into something useful??? Norm Wolcott nwolcott2@post.harvard.edu
Norm, Jpeg2000 files are useful. Unfortunately, few people have viewers for them, and even less browsers support them. I would advise to keep them, but until they are more widely supported, use good old JPEG instead.... Yes, I know it is a chicken and egg problem to get this better standard introduced somehow.

books downloaded from Brewster Kahle's website are in Jpeg200 format. In order for these to be "useful" to me I have to be able to convert them into tif's or something else useful for PG clearance etc and dp scans Norm Wolcott nwolcott2@post.harvard.edu ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeroen Hellingman (Mailing List Account)" <jeroen.mailinglist@bohol.ph> To: "Project Gutenberg Volunteer Discussion" <gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org> Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2005 3:43 PM Subject: Re: [gutvol-d] Jpeg2000
