tar, etc. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small

their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide
the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts.

So now that I am done with my excuse for the slow release cycle...
Progress on the next release of BusyBox has been slow but steady. I expect
to have a release sometime during the first week of April. This release will
include a number of important changes, including the addition of a shell, a

asmutils is similar to BusyBox in that it provides a number of common application
for embedded systems that are very tiny. In fact, they are a _lot_ smaller than the
equivalent apps in busybox -- but the price you pay for the size is reduced portability
