I used PackType and any particular file that gets "converted" by it is
recognized by NCU, but any file that has not been taken to PackType still
won't be seen by NCU, regardless if it's on the Mac Desktop or PC side.

I tried using PC Exchange to add the file type (system 7.5.5) and I don't
know how to select the "pkg " with the space. I associated .PKG with NCU
and then I had a drop-down list where I could use choose either "pkg" or
"Pkg", but neither seemed to get NCU to see .pkg files that were not
converted by PackType.

Robert was kind enough to provide some code in his mail, but how to I use
it? How do I create the AppleScript file?
Anyone else on the list using Basilisk to install packages?
Thanks,
