RPM Browser is a handy tool for Linux users. This Windows-based freeware utility lets you easily examine the contents of Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) files. RPM files are complex installation scripts that contain all the necessary components to bring a distribution of Linux up on a host machine. This browser provides a nice interface for viewing and extracting data embedded in RPM archives. It unpacks and parses selected tag, header, and signature data for query, then generates a formatted report. Built-in tools launch the Windows Explorer and a customizable hyperlink shortcut menu. Although still in beta, this well-documented freebie is stable and easy to use. Reviewed on Feb 10 1999.
