I need to create a simple test environment.  I need to Lossless compress a
..TGA image using JPEG2000. I will transfer it to another computer and
automatically Lossless decompress the image at the other end.

I'm looking for the simpliest method to perform this.  Is there a
utility/program that could do this without coding?  If not, is there an
ActiveX/DLL/library that I could compile in a simple program to accomplish
this?

Thanks for any help.

I need to do this in a Windows environment.

Thanks.

What do you mean by "without coding?" Surely JPEG2000 includes encoding
the image, that's the point... 

Anyhow, here's a Java implementation that should work platform independent
and will also offer the lossless compression path:

http://jj2000.epfl.ch/

Besides, there are several commercial trail-programs available. If you
want to test one of them, let me know.

So long,

To clarify, I meant without having to write source code to implement a
JPEG2000 ActiveX/DLL/Library.  I just wanted a simple program, already
written, to accomplish the task as stated below.  Or something close to it.

Yes, as said, look into the JJ2000. It is a command-line only tool that
should be sufficient for a test. It is Java and thus platform independent.
It will allow you to compress a file on one system, and to decompress it
on another. How to move the data from here to there is a problem that must
be solved outside, however.

Also, look at Kakadu.

Thanks for your help.  I will look into both options.
