Author Best way check new files?

I'm looking for the best way of tracking what files an application has
installed and where. I was using a before and after "ls' but it wasn't
that great. Now using:

sudo find /Applications /Library /System /Users -type f -mmin -foo

Where foo is the time in minutes since I installed the application.

Is there a better way? Help appreciated.
Thanks.

What OS are you running? In Solaris you can query /var/sadm/install/contents.

Sorry, should have specified... OSX and the Bash shell. Under Linux
therew asn't the problem, but under OSX applications will put anything
anywhere...
