Encap 1.x: Basic Package Structure

An Encap package is distributed as a compressed tar archive which contains the Package Directory and all of its subdirectories. For example, the Encap for sed-3.02 might contain these files:

sed-3.02/encapinfo
sed-3.02/bin/sed
sed-3.02/man/man1/sed.1

The package archive is extracted into the Encap Source Directory, which is usually /usr/local/encap.
