Our machine has asa (isn't it standard 7th edition?), the man page says:
     asa - interpret ANSI Fortran carriage control
seal, and ship form part of Andrew Koenig's `Automatic Software Distribution'
system (see the paper of that name - I'm afraid I don't have a reference)

I'm especially interested to find out what `byteyears' is for!
