qpm is package manifest - you don't have to do anything with it (it is 
an xml describing where files are installed if you would use special 
utility to extract that). Qpr should contain other files which you 
actually want to install (binaries,etc)

First off, if you are using a version of Neutrino around 6.3.0 or earlier just use 'qnxinstall' to install it (see the 
associated documentation). Otherwise read on...

The QPR format is really nothing more than a tar file. Within it are separate packages which are themselves tarfiles (*.
qpk) and description files (*.qpm). 

If you untar the .qpk files you will notice a directory structure usually starting with a vendor name  then a package 
name and version (since it's a third party's file I make no assumptions about the layout). That means a couple of levels
 in you will see a directory structure which is basically the root of the thing. Just copy those files to your 
destination. There may be several packages so this should be repeated for each. It sounds more confusing that it really 
is.
