Will 3.0 on CD be the *full* NeXTSTEP 3.0 or just the upgraded stuff?
Also, will it come in those packages like 2.1 extended did?  I like
the package ideas, but getting a single program or set of files off
them is a real pain.  Just like dealing with tar (gee, could it have
something to do with NeXT not wanting to "program around" tar unlike
what Juan Pineda (of EnTAR fame) did?)...

I ask this because I will want to get single files and directory
sub-trees off of it, sometime.  I want to do that with 2.1 extended
now, but it's too much of a bother (and 3.0 is only a month away).

Thanks.
