zpmshw Works

 no maintenance or update

The offer of ZPM is growing daily and the shortnames and
acronyms of the offer are sometimes hard to understand and
also hard to type with my lazy fingers.

So I decided to have

• a listing with the descriptions from repository,
• splitted in short junks to avoid backscroll,
• controlled forward / backward scrolling,
• the option to select my packages by number,
• to install or uninstall with limited typing.

It runs with do ^zpmshow

A snaphot from the screen:
