Handlers for reading/writing image density info in PNG/JPEG?

[John Craig]

Hi, Trevor.  Check out http://splash21.com/downloads/sQuiRtGPL.zip
There's a function in the library for creating PNG images and also the 
required functions for deflate compression and crc32 checksums - maybe 
those will help  you getting started on the PNG side of things.
