The command line utilities will require a network host with a CPU. So does
Jurassic pminstall. You will use them exactly the same way. The intent is
that if all you need is what the current pmtoys do, that once you install
the new stuff you won't even know what you're using. The advantage is that
the new stuff will work on platforms that the old did not and never would,
and that we have added and will be adding new features to them as time goes
on.

See above. The new pmcommand will not have that annoying paging limitation
that the old one did.

I hope I addressed your concerns. If not, as always, let me know.
