Hi!
 I found excellent source for GNU Wavelet Image codec, and i create port
for Java. Now you can use applets for show images on your HTML pages,
as alternative for JPEG & GIF. I tested it under Win9x/NT NetScape 4.06,
Micro$oft Explorer 3.x and 4.x, HotJava and JDK1.x. Linux not tested :(

 Now i have 2 version of decoders:

 a) version 1.0 full functionalen decompressor for GrayScale and
    color YUV422 images (root).
 b) progressive version (0.99 beta), very slow, only for testing
    (Java-progressive folder).

Demo applets you can look:
JDK:               appletviewer index.html
NetScape and MSIE: Open index.html FROM BROWSER!!! Not CLI(Ex. 
netscape index.html)!!!

Compile source:
JDK  : javac demoImage.java
VJ++ : jvc demoImage.java

Also for compress images you must use gwic from it archive. I made
modification for YUV422 color models and increment header size on
1 byte, and original gwic format can not be used.
You can compile it:
EGC, GCC : make
VC++     : nmake -f Makefile.vcc

Those files absolutely free for all, except Albania,
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Georgia and Azerbaijan.
