There are two versions of WinJPEG: a 386 version for 386's or better and

The 386 version can be obtained by registering WinJPEG.

INSTALLATION NOTES
If you associate a file extension with WinJPEG, you can double click on
a file with that extension in File Manager and WinJPEG will
automatically display that file. There are two ways to associate an
extension with WinJPEG. The easiest way is to run File Manager, to
click on a file with the desired extension, and to select the Associate
command from the File Menu. Then type "winjpeg.exe" with the
appropriate path (e.g. c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe). The other way is to
modify the Extensions section of the "win.ini" file in your Windows
directory. Your "win.ini" may look like this after you modify it:
[Extensions]
...
jpg=c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe ^.jpg
gif=c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe ^.gif
tga=c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe ^.tga
bmp=c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe ^.bmp
Note that you don't have to use the suggested extensions (e.g. you can use
.jpe instead of .jpg); WinJPEG will automatically detect the file format.
If you want common dialogs for the open/save dialog boxes, you must copy
"commdlg.dll" to your Windows system directory(e.g. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM).
If "commdlg.dll" doesn't exist in that directory when WinJPEG is
started, the regular open/save dialog boxes will be used.
"shell.dll," which contains routines for drag-drop, must be copied to
your Windows system directory if it isn't already there.
If there is an old options file (from a version of WinJPEG earlier than
1.4), "winjpeg.sav," in your WinJPEG directory, you must delete it
before running version 1.6.
HOW TO ACCESS ON-LINE HELP
Help for menu commands can be accessed by 1) using the Index command
under the Help menu, 2) pressing shift-F1 and selecting an active menu
item, or 3) selecting an active menu item without releasing the mouse
button, pressing the F1 key, and then releasing the mouse button. Topics
such as JPEG formats, corrupt GIF files, how to obtain updates, etc. are
also accessible under the Index command.
HOW TO REGISTER
If you use WinJPEG for more than 14 days, you are expected to register
WinJPEG. When you register, you will receive the latest 286 and 386
versions of WinJPEG, a user manual, and a collection of JPEG images (we
will put as many as we can fit on 2 720k 3 1/2" floppies, on 1 1.44M 3
1/2" floppy, or on 4 360k 5 1/4" floppies). Also, the registered
version does not have the reminder-to-register screen at the start.
The registration fee is only $20. MA residents, add 5% sales tax to the
registration fee. US residents, add $3 for shipping and non-US
residents, add $8 for shipping. If you want WinJPEG e-mailed to your
account instead of having it physically mailed to you, there is no extra
shipping charge.
Because of the lengthy time it takes to produce a new version and to
distribute it to registered users, updates are no longer free. Updates
will cost $5. Those who registered in October and November 1992 can
obtain the next update for free. Shipping fees described above apply to
updates as well. Updates are available when you see a new shareware
version.
To register or to order an update, complete the order form and send a
check in US funds to:
