rpm - Red Hat Package Manager for OS/2

rpm - Red Hat Package Manager for OS/2: patch level 5

rpm is a powerful package manager, which can be used to build, install, query, verify, update, and uninstall individual software packages. A package consists of an archive of files, and package information, including name, version, and description.

To use RPM package for Red Hat linux distribution and Vine distribution (Japan), I ported rpm to OS/2.

Mannual for OS/2 user
rpm303.zip [1.17 Mb] 1999.11.3
This package contains OS/2 executables, OS/2 patch , , original mannuals, and required libraries and DLLs.
- I MADE A MISTAKE!!: `cpio.exe' included in `rpm303.zip'[99/10/30] was linked with PGCC. It required DLL of pgcc, so most of you might not be able to work rpm.
  If you got a copy of "99/10/30", download this cpio.exe.
