Requires: AGA+020

 sJFIF is a JFIF viewer for the AmigOS with AGA, 020+, 1M fast memory
 and better.

 Its a prog to show jfif pictures in color and gray modes. The main aim of 
 this prog was a fast work of it on 020 with 1M of fast memory, that is why
 there was used the fastest engine to render a picture in 24bit, that
 engine cant provide the best quality at change of colours. You may use
 of CLI HQ environment for better quality of HAM8 mode. Sure there is the
 best quality in the grey mode :) This very program is NOT finished yet,
 and the author will go on working at it, and one more thing, the author
 is not gulty if it causes any damage because of its incorrect work!!!

 Now it works with cli. You can type these commands:
 hq - Hi quality HAM8
 gray - picture in gray
 fdct - faster work nn 020 and 030. Though it takes more memory
 sm (screenmode) - you can change the screenmode (pal, dblntsc, evro72, vga...)

 Example:
 sjfif fdct hq sm=ntsc {F}

 Future:

 Support to native mode of other graphic types (BMP24,pJFIF).
 Work with other formats through datatypes.
