Kevin,
I'm interested in compressions schemes also. Have you been in touch
with Michael Barnsley of Iterated Systems? Unfortunately they want several
thousands of dollars upfront. Also unfortunately, they don't seem
interested in having their stuff ported to the Amiga, but they _do_ get
impressive compression (fractal compression)..claiming 100-1 and such.
As for the chunky pixel, I haven't heard of any such proposal for IFF.
Of course, you must keep images (which are to be displayed) in bitplane
format in the Amiga…but those you're working on certainly don't have to
be. BTW, how does one go about getting a copy of the JPEG compression
algorithm?
