 These packages were not created with Tru64's **setld** packaging tool. The reason is that we didn't want to interfere with native Tru64 packages. We also didn't want to use **setld** because it's not a great packaging tool. It's super slow, too.
-Instead we went with [[EPM|https://www.msweet.org/epm/]] instead. EPM has a "portable" format which creates self-installing scripts which contain all the package binaries. You'll unpack the package tarball and find about four files within them. One of the files will be a "myprogram.install" script (the installer you run) and you'll also notice there is a "myprogram.sw" file which contains the actual archived data for the package. It'll ask you if you want to install the package, then it'll have you accept the license.

 EPM packages are simple, but loaded with features. One feature is that when you install an EPM portable package you'll end up with a link in /etc/software called "myprogram.remove". This is the removal script which will fully uninstall and remove the package. It'll also restore any backup files which were previously clobbered by the package.
