I think packagemaker still accepts the same parameters, but just pass
-help and you will get the quick description of parameters.
The catch, I found, is that you have to be in the directory where
PackageMaker resides and use "-help" from there.
For more detailed help use man packagemaker
Wow, this is embarassing... Being a CLI option of a Mac app, I didn't
try "man" for it. Thanks for the info, Mr. Gillette.

I can do this because it's possible to run PackageMaker from the
command line. There used to be a separate command (package) then
with Xcode 1.0 it was an the executable in the PackageMaker.app. Now
in Xcode 1.1 there seems to have been some changes again to the tool.
However, I cannot find anywhere documentation for the arguments that
it expects. In Xcode 1.0 (I think) I could run the command with a
bad argument and get a "usage" message. I no longer get that message
and now I just get a "file doesn't exist" error.
So the tool exists which I want to use, but there is no documentation
that I can find for it and it will not, itself, give me information
on it's arguments.
Have any of you on the list found docs or reference for PackageMaker
that I can use to help?
