Hey      I am working on an application that pulls various packages from the
internet and installs them under Linux, since autopackage is dead easy to
get applications installed with it was the first package format to be
supported, now however I am looking into how to uninstall packages and
autopackage is still rather simple, if your an intelligent human being. My
program kinda sucks that way since it's neither ;).

I have a package file, I save the name of this package file to a text file,
however I wish to extract the short name from the autopackage archive prior
to installation so my program can save the short name in the text file
should the need to uninstall arise. How might I achieve this?

Many thanks,
Neil Munro
