Just grab the image by clicking on the 2D thumnail.  All .jps means is
that there is a plain language header describing the contents of the
accompanying .jpeg.  I believe VRex supplies a detailed spec on request
via their web page.

As a unix/os2 user, I too regret that many software/hardware packages
are so shortsighted that they only consider the Win95 market.  But, when
it comes to the internet, as even Microsoft will tell you, if
software/hardware doesn't run on unix there is not a hope of it becoming
a standard.

But that is not the case for DepthCharge.  It is "merely" an on the fly
image converter to present any .jps to a number of 3d viewing options. 
You want to make a few quick bucks, write an eqivalent for the os of
your choice.  Mercifully, all the standards are open specs and .jps is
platform independent.

In the meantime, it is not unusual for the most popular os to have a
groundbreaking application. But for free from a business,
congratulations to VRex.  When the big money comes in, I will remember
them for including anaglyph for the techno-peasants of this world.
