 This package includes the package installation and administration tools:  pkg_install contains the core package management and administration
   utilities for pkgsrc, a multi-platform source and binary package
   system developed and maintained by The NetBSD Project and volunteers
   from around the globe.
   
 pkg_add - a utility for installing and upgrading software packages  The following tools are included:
 pkg_admin - perform various administrative tasks to the pkg system  
 pkg_create - a utility for creating software package distributions  
 pkg_delete - a utility for deleting previously installed software packages  
 pkg_info - a utility for displaying information on software packages  
 pkg_view - a utility for managing package views  
 linkfarm - a utility for managing symbolic links to package files  
   
 This is a copy of NetBSD-current's pkg_* tools in a format which  pkg_add         install and upgrade binary packages
 is able to be installed as a package.  To prevent deinstallation,  pkg_admin       perform various pkgsrc administrative tasks
