Packages are just .tgz files (gzipped tar files), so they should be
readable with WinZip or other Windows-based utilities that deal with
compressed collections of files.

In the base package you want, look for a file named +CONTENTS -- that's
the text file that describes the package's contents, dependencies, and
what happens when it gets installed.  If I remember correctly, lines that
begin with '@newdepend' specify what packages the current package
depends on.

Does that help?
