'Twould be a tough tool to write for jpegs without row markers. Compression squeezes out redundant information. If one could pick out the boundaries of valid MCUs, there would still be the problem of lining them up. For jpegs with row markers, one might be able to write a tool that would split an image into one image for each marked group of rows. One could then eyeball the results of decompressing each of the small images. I think that there are tools that will let you losslessly merge compatible jpegs. -- Mike hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "it stands to reason that they weren't always called the ancients." -- Daniel Jackson
