   I use extensively netdist to distribute HP software on our network
(about 60 HPUX systems) but what I would like to do is to use netdist
also to distribute non-HP software. I could do it just by looking at the
differents files in /netdist/..., but I am not sure at all about the
signification of the differents files out there. Does anybody has a good
documentation on the exact format of these differents files, and/or
(why not dreaming) a program or a script taking a set fo files in input
and generating the correct netdist file tree ?

        thanks.
