I think it's a bit funny that JPEG is discussed under "OS Construction"

If it's because you want to use it for your GUI stuff, you should probably look into PNG instead, as that format is generally better suited for GUI elements.

We are coding a bootable web browser, so need a jpeg decoder as well as gif, bmp maybe a png latter.
But i have already code them for DexOS, so its not a problem, but dosin just wanted to know how they work.

Well PNG is another on my list- I am just working my way though image formats..

I am thinking they have more than just .png on the net... or for an image lib..

It would be pretty sad just to target just one Image format..



Why is gui/support for images/etc.. not apart of OS Devel..
With out it windows,linux, etc..
would still be command lines..
and dont forget all the other devices out there:
Cell Phones..
Game Stations..
DexOS..
FBrowser.. Comming Soon!
etc...

I am thinking it is apart of it..


Thanks, for your input on png..

Maybe it's just me, but I find Pascal to be a very easy to read language. Delphi Gems has graphics library supporting many formats:

...if you are looking for more examples to eliminate ambiguities in the documentation. JPG isn't listed among the formats, but GIF and PNG are.

asm

c becomes asm
pascal becomes asm

etc etc ...
no need of hll

only asm.
but imported librairies are alloued, like fasmlib.

Actually, I find out now that OpenWatcom outputs directly to .OBJ (no intermediate stage) when you don't use any inline asm. So, "owcc -S" has to call "wdis" in order to convert the .OBJ to assembly output for viewing.

i'll draw something. to show that assembly (machine language) is the heart, the ground, the air, of all (digital sequential) machines.

i can make the drawing for your codes for free or cheap. in BMP, JPEG and GIF ( due to the program i use)
