Apple Installer Question



It seems like the Apple installer program is still giving Executor grief.  I
understand why this program (like ResEdit) creates a legal nightmare for ARDI 
to examine, particularly before the dirty team gets on board.

My question is has anyone examined the file compression structure of their disks
with an eye towards unpacking the files without the installer program?  It seems
to me that manual installations while a minor pain, should not be that more 
difficult that installing on a Mac and dragging the files over.  There are
several utilities out there that can take apart Microsoft's CAB compressed
files, which is Microsoft's new compression format which they are using to
ship their new Windows apps in.  Can we do this on the Mac side?

Just a thought.
