You don't have to generate a PACKAGES.TXT with the script included in FAQ # 17 to run the
script in FAQ #31.  You just need to save the contents within the ### BEGIN SCRIPT and ### END
SCRIPT in a local file, and execute it with your shell, bash or sh.  Or you can set it
executable with chmod +x and ./scriptname package_argument. 


Hope that helps,
jason
