The OSF1^H^H^H^HDigital^H^H^H^H^H^H^HTru64 UNIX binary distributions are
based on the setld format distribution kits.
They are mainly used by Compaq Softwares and I wonder if any third party
software is distributed in this format.

The setld(8) command is used to manage the software subsets.

The kits(1) command generates setld format distribution kits.

But I prefer to use simple gziped tar files (or self extracting shell scripts)
on this system ...
