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.
