This is really the wrong way to submit a question - I had to decode it
just to read it, and I daresay most others on this list just whapped
"delete" rather than go to all the extra trouble.  If I'd have been
any busier at the moment I probably would have done the same.. :-)

Anyway, here's the script you asked for..

					Jordan
#! /bin/sh
#
# Script dpa
#	URL = ftp://pm.cse.rmit.edu.au/ftp/pub/FreeBSD/misc/dpa
#
# The current pkg_add command cannot process packages in files that have
# incorrect names e.g. packages that are being read off a DOS file system
# where a shortened name is required.  Shell script dpa (Dos Package Add)
# figures out the real name of a package so it can be temporarily copied
# across to $DEST (with its original name) and have pkg_add run on it.
#
# The user is prompted to have all packages available in the source
# directory installed.
#
# Parameter 1 is taken as the directory holding the 8+3 named packages,
# otherwise we look for a directory named /dos/packages or /dosc/packages
# or /dosd/packages,
# otherwise we ask where the hell these packages are supposed to be.
#
# Note: if you had chosen to mount a dos partition as /dos during the
#       installation, and used the DOS batch file fbsdmove.bat to copy some
#       initial packages into area \PACKAGES on the DOS disk, then this
#       script will figure out where your packages are hiding.
#
# Use:		dpa		(assumes packages in /dos/packages etc.)

# Procedure:
#
# a) examine each file to see if it is a gzip compressed file
# b) if it is, we assume it is a .tgz package file and extract the +CONTENTS
#    file in which a line commencing with the string "@name" is used to give
#    us the original package's name
# c) the user is then prompted to see if this package should be copied and
#    installed.
