While I will not be contributing to this project, I wanted to remember everyone that the source code for UnixWare's packaging utility is available in Skunkware. FWIW, he Unixware stuff is very similar to Jordan's packaging utilities, in fact it has the same limitations. One thing I did like about the Unixware way of doing things was that when you install a package the Motif tool would launch and individual xterm with a report of the installation. cheers, Pedro.
