Aha, been there, done that I thought: I had tried Jclean but found it
was not 32-bit so that is why I went to Imagemaster. But I knew you
would not have suggested it if it did not work so I managed to find a
distribution of JTOOLS which included the vital jpegtran program which I
used to substitute for the old one in Jclean. Bingo and the thing
worked! Jclean storms through the conversions with the unchanged
graphic and marginally (c. 2%) larger file sizes: works well with OPro
and prints fine. Thanks.
