The problem is that File Exchange is set as standard to recognize files of
type *.pkg as AppleLink packages. You must open the File Exchange control
panel, and find the .pkg extension, then select Change..., and select NCU
as the application associated with the extension, with filetype "pkg ".
For packages you already downloaded, you can use the aforementioned PackType
(or any other means of changing a files creator and type codes; my favorite
is FileBuddy 5).

Subject: Re: NTLK Help!
Ok so that first request for help was not all that clear.
I have a 2100, and I have purchased a 3com model # 3C589D card .
Then loaded the Farallon driver and downloaded the 3comaddon.pkg, it appears
on the desk top as a text file with the icon of a floppy being compressed.
This will not load on my newton,
I have tried StuffIt ExpanderT 5.1.4 that doesn't work.
Will the PackType change it?
Does anyone have it in a mac package they can send?
