The following packages have been uploaded to
sunvis.rtpnc.epa.gov:/pub/386bsd/incoming:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 uucp uucp 416093 Dec 04 10:35 jpeg.tar.Z
Indepent JPEG Group's JPEG software version 3. Can convert to and from several
formats, including ppm. Fails the self-tests, but images look OK
using Tk's photo widget.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 uucp uucp 474819 Dec 04 11:08 pbmplus.tar.Z
Jef Poskanzer's portable bitmap package. An absolute must for fiddling with
graphics bitmaps and converting between formats. You need tiff, too
(also uploaded, see below), to get the tiff-to-portable-anymap and vice
versa programs built. (Fun hint: build ghostscript with ppm/pgm/pbm output.)
-rw-rw-r-- 1 uucp uucp 729221 Dec 04 12:11 tiff.tar.Z
Library and programs for manipulating the widely used TIFF bitmap format.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 uucp uucp 21043 Dec 04 12:13 xantfarm.tar.Z
Ants move bits around your X background.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 uucp uucp 55425 Dec 04 12:17 xpipeman.tar.Z
Somewhat amusing X game.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 uucp uucp 180715 Dec 04 12:29 xxgdb.tar.Z
Totally great X front-end to gdb.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 uucp uucp 181875 Dec 04 10:03 zip.tar.Z
Zip archiver from the PC world.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 uucp uucp 241321 Dec 04 12:46 zoo.tar.Z
Rahul Dhesi's great "zoo" archiver, v2.10. "h"-option
("zoo ah archive files...") yields splendid compression.
