"asa" is a standard UNIX utility for post-processing Fortran "print"
output; it uses the first-column "carriage control" character to map
the text file to a corresponding conventional (e.g. ASCII control
sequence) file suitable for sending to a "dumb" printer.

I don't know what the others are, but could give some good guesses
for most of them.
