- apsfilt: apsfilter-5.0.1.
- apsfilt:
- apsfilt: Apsfilter is a printer input filter. With apsfilter installed and
- apsfilt: configured, you can print many different file types (like ASCII,
- apsfilt: PostScript, and DVI, as well as compressed versions of all of these)
- apsfilt: directly with 'lpr', and apsfilter will automatically handle the
- apsfilt: conversion process on the fly.

- ash: Kenneth Almquist's ash shell.
- ash:
- ash: A lightweight (62K) Bourne compatible shell. Great for machines with
- ash: low memory, but does not provide all the extras of shells like bash,
- ash: tcsh, and zsh. Runs most shell scripts compatible with the Bourne
- ash: shell. Note that under Linux, most scripts seem to use at least some
- ash: bash-specific syntax. The Slackware setup scripts are a notable
- ash: exception, since ash is the shell used on the install disks. NetBSD
- ash: uses ash as its /bin/sh.

- jpeg6: Independent JPEG Group's JPEG software version 6b
- jpeg6:
- jpeg6: Software to implement JPEG image compression and decompression. JPEG
- jpeg6: (pronounced 'jay-peg') is a standardized compression method for
- jpeg6: full-color and gray-scale images. JPEG is intended for compressing
- jpeg6: 'real-world' scenes; cartoons and other non-realistic images are not
- jpeg6: its strong suit. JPEG is lossy, however, on typical images of
- jpeg6: real-world scenes, very good compression levels can be obtained with
- jpeg6: no visible change, and amazingly high compression levels are possible
- jpeg6: if you can tolerate a low-quality image.

- mt_st: ioctls have been added to the original source and the man page has
- mt_st: been updated. Although this mt program is tailored for SCSI tape, it
- mt_st: can also be used with the QIC-02 driver and hopefully with other Linux
- mt_st: tape drivers using the same ioctls (some of the commands may not work
