Yah. It can also use lpkg on Linux to install packages directly to the
Dock (at 115200bps, yay), but I haven't looked at lpkg's source closely
enough to know if it's all Linux-specific or vaguely POSIX looking. If
I actually had BeOS ever working, I'd try it there, but I couldn't get
it to play right with my NVidia card, so it went away.

Hmmn. Anyone ever done Perl -> Be-GUI bindings? That would be nifty.
There's also a BeOS port of Gtk that's coming along; my little
connection tool might port over once I get it a little saner and
liberate it from some unfortunate Gnome dependencies. So far, tho, all
it can do is install packages.
