Installp and install do two different things. Install is just a shell
script that copies one or more files into a specific directory, sets the
mode/owner, etc, and possibly strips binaries. Installp is a program
that installs software packages with a single command. Installp is
somewhat generalized in that it runs a script/program that is part of
the media to be installed....so that everything that needs to be done for
the installation can be done automatically. An installp image is in a
specific format (AIX backup/restore I think), and "/usr/ucb/install" would
not know what to do with it...
