Package Files That Don't Install

So you have a nice old BeOS application in the package format (*.pkg) you'd like to install in Haiku and you try to install it using Haiku's Package Installer but it doesn't work or nothing happens… What to do??

Well, you could use 'Package Builder' (included in BeOS R5 Development Tools) to extract the files in the archive, and then manually transfer the files to their paths.

Now you'll be able to test the binaries under Haiku ;)
