Converting .rec files to .jpeg ?

Following a fault on a CD-R I have had to use the Recovery feature in Easy CD
Creator 5 to recover jpegs stored on the disk.

I can now view the pictures fine on my desktop running windows98. However,
all the picture files have been left with the file extension .rec (presumably
recovery). This means I am unable to display them on other devices such as my
pocket PC as this does not recognize the extension .rec.

Does anyone know of a way to convert the recovered files back to .jpegs or
how I might display them on devices which dont recognize the .rec file
extension ?

Thanks
Jo

'Jo',

Have you tried just renaming the extension to .JPG??

Jo,
I had an identical problem. Sorted it out using an application called
'IrfanView'. Just plug the name into a search engine and it should find it
for you no probs. It s freeware so should nt cost you a penny. If I remember
rightly it came from a site called Tucows or similar.
