Hello Peter,
I see in the press that there is a vulnerability in various Microsoft software when processing jpeg images. Is PMView vulnerable? see http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3684552.stm If you know what is going on here you might give us some info--the press doesn't know much. Bob Griswold |

PMView is not affected in any way.
Generally PMView don't use an third party libraries and is 100% based on our own work. One of the few exeptions is the JPEG (JFIF) support which is in large part coded by me, but still ultimately based on work of the independent JPEG group (IJG). To our knowledge, the IJG work is not vulnerabe in any way. Thanks, -------------------- Peter Nielsen (peter@pmview.com) "If you can dream it, you can do it" JFK.
