I was imagining that there was a way to add an 'entire' package
so that dependencies would be taken care of.

This method is a single file at a time - Is that true?

I used this method. It seemed to work OK, except for failed
dependency messages. Is there a way to check the final package
to see if all dependencies were met?

Do the TRANS.TBL contents list all of the required files for a
particular package (despite their BBS use)?

Thank you very much. I'll go try the next package.
