Jerry,
I agree with Wayne that if they want money from you, they better their act together.

IAC, I believe both formats are basically the same. If not, then IE has the internal logic to display either one. Can they put the image on a web server that you have access to? If you can view it from IE, then you can save it to your hard drive in the JPG format you can read.

HTH.
