I was able to install the *.plt file under Windows with no problems.  
However, when I attempted to install under OS X (using Safari), I  
ended up seeing a text file displayed in the browser. I tried right  
clicking (well, control clicking) and saving it to the desktop, but I  
got a file named plai-300.plt.txt. Maybe there's an easier way to do  
it, but the only way I could find to rename it was to change  
directories to ~/Desktop and rename it there. Then, when I double  
clicked on the file, I saw a dialog asking whether I wanted to open  
the file for editing or install it. I chose install, and then  
everything worked fine.

My guess is that the web server is sending a media type of text/ 
plain. The media type probably ought to be application/something,  
maybe application/octet-stream.

BTW, the text looks great!
