-You are still wondering why you should use OpenPKG and what it is good
-for? If you are happy with any other packaging facility, do not waste
-your time with OpenPKG, please. OpenPKG does not try to compete with or
-even replace any vendor facilities -- it is an add-on to them. But if
-you need an answer to one or more of the following questions, you should
-give OpenPKG a try.

-You have a large set of different Unix
-servers to install and maintain but nevertheless want a single facility
-across all platforms? You want to install an application
-multiple times on a single server, for instance to give each project
-their own software installation? You want to install add-on applications
-the easy way by accepting mimimal operating system intrusion only?
-OpenPKG is designed to solve these situations for you.
