The third public beta of PackMan is now available.

The main changes are:
- scroll bar clicking moves only one page
- progress window closed automatically if a new install/remove is
done after the previous one finished.
- stopped focus being stolen during commit
- various cosmetic tweaks

If you already have a previous version or !RiscPkg
installed you can install it from the main riscpkg site.

Otherwise go to http://alanb.drobe.co.uk/packman.htm for
download and installation instructions.

PackMan is a package manager front end for packages distributed
using the RISC OS Packaging Project (see http://www.riscpkg.org).

It can be used instead of or alongside !RiscPkg.

Its features include:

- Status bar showing more information on the selected package.
- Filters to allow display of packages for a specific category,
what's installed or upgrades to already installed packages.
- Search for a package.
- Single buttons to start an install, upgrade or removal of a package.

System requirements

RISC OS 4.0 or greater with long filenames
Internet connection for downloading packages
