D00d:
Yeah, you're right, it's got an invalid JPEG marker in it. However, such
niceties of file structure have never bothered programs like ThumbsPlus, which
opened it without any problem whatsoever. ("File format information? WE DON'
NEED NO STEENKIN' FILE FORMAT INFORMATION, MANG...") ;-)
If you'd like, I can ship you the re-formatted version. (Actually, I *will*
ship you a re-formatted version in a private message.) I do recommend that you
pick up a copy of ThumbsPlus -- great image viewer, thumbnailer, organizer,
etc. It's worth the (relatively modest) registration fee, too...
