 Program information
 -------------------
 akLJPG.datatype is a JPEG datatype, which is based on the
 Lossless JPEG Codec V1.0 - which implements a lossless JPEG format not
 directly related to the JFIF JPEG file format.

 It supports reading of LJPG graphics files.
 LJPG is a freely distributable lossless JPEG image compression package.

 There's a port of the encoding program "pnmtoljpg" available on Aminet
 as gfx/pbm/pnmtoljpg.lha, which compresses a Portable Pixmap (PPM, PNM-P6)
 or Portable Graymap image (PGM, PNM-P5) to a lossles JPEG (LJPG) image
 using the JPEG standard (DIS) lossless mode of operation.

 This datatype decodes a ljpg image to either 24 Bit RGB or 256 grayscales
 depending on the number of color components stored in the LJPG image file.
