graphics

Revisiting graphics solutions: I cannot recall asking about displaying JPEGs. I did search for them on SF website.
It seems that there is not any solutions except using a third-party dll. Is that correct? I need to display approx. 50
jpegs total for my screensaver project. I am sure if that will be too large a file. SF is between 441 K or more when
turnkeyed I think. Then there are the jpegs which I have not gotten the most recent smallest viewable file size from
our one 1/2 person art department. -) But I think it is about 100K more or less. So, that is times say 50, totalling
5,000 at least. So, that seems to bring the .scr/.exe file to at least 5,000 k. This seems to be huge for a screensaver.

I have a few questions. How can I reduce this file size to near 500-1,000 K? Can I place the JPEGS in a folder that
calls them from the .scr? If I did that either I or the end user could add JPEGs.

If I used Fastgraph would I have to include DLLs in the distribution?
