Script Info

Name: Get Package Names List
Author: Five Speed Software, Inc.
Description:
This script simply creates a new note in the Notes app, containing a list of package names of all the packages installed on your Newton when it is run. It is intended to help you create lists of package names, for use with your own customized versions of the Freeze/Thaw Group script. (Package names are generally slightly different from what is shown in the Extras Drawer.)
