I believe it depends on which flavor of Unix you have. For instance we have IBM's AIX and you can use "smit" to get a list of software installed.

in Red-hat Linux is "rpm -qa"
in HP UX is "swlist"
and in other flavours of UNIX I suppose it's all different and many ways to check it anyway.
Please be more specific.
I hope that helps

Cheers

Aris :-)
