   This Pkg seems to be a major install, not an update, and in reading 
the "ReadMe.rtf" file I note the same instructions as for a regular 
install.

   What should we do if installing this over a current production install 
( i.e.:  do we still run "the Post.Office 
program in the Applications directory to complete the installation" as 
mentioned there? ), and how will this install affect our current 
settings, user, and mail files?

   What command(s) should we use to make a backup ( tar? ) of our current 
setup in case things do not work out, and what would we do to restore 
these old files in case we do need to?

   Perhaps you could include a set of tar and un-tar scommands or scripts 
we could use for protection.

   Also, can these Pkg files be run from the CLI, or must we be "local" 
to run them from the finder ( and does the iTools "remote" interface work 
w/ P.O, or are there plans to replicate its functionality there )?

   If they can be run from the CLI, is there any preferance for Finder 
..vs CLI in terms of avoiding possible problems, etc.?

   Thanks for your time and help in these matters.
