I finally got sent a coordinated decls/dll for FreeImage which works! Thanks to IPete2.
What should be noted is:
a) you can't use a Blitz image handle to save via FreeImage - the resultant jpg is non-standard.
b) if you read in an image via FreeImage then the image handle produced is unusable by Blitz.
c) the only probable use is, as I am doing, writing out a Blitz image (SaveImage() as bmp) then reading it in via FreeImage and saving it out as a jpg to ensure compression/reduction.
Still, if anyone wants this email me.
