Actually, I suggest you look at the Tech Notes in the Cobalt
Developer network for
the most complete and up-to-date information on creating .pkg files.
There are separate
Tech Notes for each Cobalt product family.
if you are already signed up as a member of the free Cobalt Developer
Network, you can go
straight to the URL http://developer.cobalt.com/devnet/technotes.php.
