Yeah,
You need to set the correct MIME type for the PKG
file. You do this on the web server. If you're using
Apache or other unix based server, it's easiest to
create a .htaccess file and put the MIME definition in
there, if you have Windows, you can enter the MIME
definition in IIS. It's pretty straight forward.
The MIME for Newton's PKG is:
Associated extention PKG
Content Type (MIME)
application/x-newton-compatible-pkg
I gave some good links to MIME type definitions and
how to set them up on a previous email...I'm sure that
a search of the Archives on MIME will return most
pages about this subject.
