Were the packages extracted from .sit files? If you use Aladdin to extract
them there are specific settings that need to be set. I'm not at home so I
don't have my notes, maybe someone else on the list can provide the details?

Subject: [NTLK] Setting up a MessagePad2000, the next challenge...
Hi!
Firstly thanks to everyone who responded to my last (first) query to the
list, and to everyone else. A week on this list, finding links to some great
websites, scanning the list archive and I'm already well up the learning
curve!!
So I now have Newton Connection Utilities speaking reasonably consistently
to the Newton. CPUkiller has done the trick and packages that previously
hung are now successfully installed.
However I have downloaded several of the packages that you recommended on
two different WinXP machines (not tried OSX yet), unzipped them and tried to
install them. More often than not, on either machine I get the following
message:
'"xxx.pkg" cannot be installed. It does not appear to be a package.'
Oh yes it does!
Your insight would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
Jon
p.s. both WinXP machines were upgraded to the latest service pack...then
this started happening. A coincidence?
