I spoke to the previous (current?) maintainer about netpbm about a year ago... here's what I dug out of my mail archives: >From quango Mon Mar 17 17:50:24 1997 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 17 Mar 1997 17:50:24 -0600 From: Chris Lawrence <quango> To: "Susan G.

They are available via that group's WWW page <http://www.wco.com/~png/> Alternatively they could be made a separate package with Suggests: netpbm.

Kleinmann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Status: RO Content-Length: 607 Lines: 18 Hi Chris -- I actually saw a couple of files that I thought I might add to netpbm, i.e., some that were tag-alongs that were developed after the 1994 release. I'm planning on a) putting them all into netpbm, and b) separating netpbm into a free and non-free part. Right now, I'm waiting on Frank Neumann to get back from South America so he can tell me if he's willing to release the 7 programs he wrote under the GPL. (Plus, I'm plugging away at the FAQ.) I'll let you know when I get back to nepbm -- it'll probably be toward the end of April, since Frank won't be back til mid-April.
