Description:	The  purpose  of this Perl script is to help you in  doing a 
                hand upgrade from one version  of a Redhat distribution (4.x
                or above) to a newer one.
                It  requires   the  list   of  packages  available   in  the
                distribution you are planing to upgrade to, and it will use,
                if you have it, the list of packages that were available for
                the current distribution you are running.
                From there, it will tell you which packages have new version
                and release  numbers, which  packages are exactly  the same,
                and which packages are new (if  you provided the list of old
                packages). It  will take  into  account  the "contrib"  RPMs
                installed on your system, and warn you of any possible clash
                with packages in the release you  plan to upgrade to, and it
                will also  show all the  packages installed on  your system,
                sorted by  distribution. Last, but  not least, it  will show
                you  which packages  appeared in  the new  distribution, and
                which ones disappeared.
                Some of the reasons for  using this program include: wanting
                to upgrade  only some  packages, possibly  without rebooting
                your  system, having  a list  of what  you can  upgrade, and
                hand-picking the new  packages you want to  retrieve via ftp
                and upgrade, or just having an  idea of what was upgraded in
                the new release.
                This program can (and has been) used to upgrade to Hurricane
                (RedHat  5.0). It   contains  specific  help  to   make  the
                procedure a little easier.
