Excuse me, but it appears neither of you actually _read_ the original
question:

That is, he wants to _create_ JPGs and GIFs on the GS, not just view
them.

There was an old program called IIGIF that would create GIFs.  There was
another that would turn GS graphics to GIFs (even supported all 16
palettes) but I don't remember its name.

I don't think there are any programs out there that create JPGs on a
IIgs.  The only type of commonly used GS graphic file that would need
JPG encoding would be 3200-color images.  Anything else can be encoded
as a GIF.  (Does the Second Sight card create new GS graphic file
formats resulting in more that 256 possible colors?)
