These are the sites, where apsfilter versions can be found

(1)	ftp server:	ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de
	directory :	pub/Linux/local/packs/APSfilter

ftp the newest release from there. The current naming scheme for 
apsfilter releases is:		aps-Release.tgz

Beta versions contain the letter B in the version number and
have mostly a number with three digits.

Getting apsfilter via ftp:
=========================

ftp ftp_site_see_above
login: ftp
password: -yourname@yourhost.yourdomain
binary
hash
get PATH_SEE_ABOVE
quit


To use all of apsfilters features or capabilities some 
additional (on your system possibly non-standard) utilities 
need to be installed. Here is, where you can get them via ftp.

    pbmplus-package from Jef Poskanzer

	ftp.ee.lbl.gov:pbmplus30oct91.tar.Z
	export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib:pbmplus30oct91.tar.Z
	
	and at almost every ftp.x.org-mirror I assume!

    Independent JPEG Group's free JPEG software
	release 5beta2

	ftp.uu.net:graphics.jpeg/jpegsrc.5beta2.tar.gz
	
	and mirrors

You'll need the pbmplus-package to be able of printing gifs, pbm, pnm,
pbm, xwd and so on-stuff, the IJG-software is only needed to change
JPEG-data to pbm.

Have fun
