[WEB4LIB] Optimizing Images on the Web

[Joy Schwarz]

Donald -

I've used GifBot at < http://www.netmechanic.com/GIFBot.htm >.  I like it
because it creates several optimized versions of the image, and allows 
you to compare the "optimized images to the original and select the best 
trade off between image quality and file size."
