So then what makes jpeg different than BMP or PCX or TGA or whatever?
I personally would prefer all bitmap format loading functions to be handled in the same consistant way. Allegro 4 has some legacy code issues that can't be helped. Allegro 5/6 shouldn't make the same mistake. I just think it's a shame that code gets included without the consent or thought of the programmer. Allegro 5/6 executables could be *smaller* than Allegro 4 executables, with some good API design. I think that would be real progress.
