Sorry to continue being dense (but at least I didn't include the  
entire digest ;}) but how does one access this project?

I tried opening the main lua doc using Pipmak but all options were  
grayed out. I tried opening the node 1.lua doc with Pipmak but again  
no luck. I tried clicking on the lua node but it only opened it in  
text edit (at least I've gotten that far).

Any input would be appreciated.

Otherwise, I am learning a good bit by going through all the code in  
the various node  files.

Thanks for everyones patience,

Liam

Did you unzip the project file (or did Safari unzip it  
automatically)? You shouldn't. Safari has the annoying misfeature of  
appending a ".zip" extension to the file name (and probably  
automatically unzipping it if this is enabled in the preferences)  
because it sees that the file technically is a ZIP file. Just remove  
that extension, so that the file name ends in ".pipmak" as it  
originally did (you may need to do this in the "Name & Suffix" field  
of the "Get Info" window since renaming it the usual way only hides  
the extension instead of actually removing it). The project should  
then take on the usual pipmak project icon and you should be able to  
open it by doubleclicking (if Pipmak isn't already running) or using  
the "Open Project" button (if Pipmak is running).

You can also use the project unzipped, just make sure that the name  
of the folder into which you unzipped it (i.e. the folder that  
contains the "1" folder and the "main.lua" file) ends with ".pipmak".  
Again, this should make it take on the pipmak project icon and make  
it openable in Pipmak.

Hope that helps

In this case, I configured the webserver to send the file with
Content-type application/zip. Would it be better to choose another
Conteent-type like application/octet-stream or application/x-pipmak?

Yes, do use application/octet-stream. I don't think there's any 
advantage in inventing our own x-pipmak type.

(I actually simplified things a bit in my reply to Liam. I'm pretty sure 
Safari doesn't look into files, but uses the Content-type to determine 
what extraneous extension to add.)

Thanks for this advice. I changed the server configuration and added a
notice in the readme. It would probably also make sense to mention this
in the documentation of pipmak.
