Hans
Thanks for the hints.

I downloaded inkscape but but still get the same error message.  I'm not 
too concerned about that just now.  Unfortunately I couldn't find zip so 
I played about with 7-Zip and managed to get the script to work.  It's 
still work in progress since I'm not sure I have the switches right but 
I edited the epub generation part of mtx-epub.lua to look like this:

os.execute(format("7z a -tzip -mx0 %s %s",epubfile,"mimetype"))
os.execute(format("7z a -tzip %s %s",epubfile,"META-INF"))
os.execute(format("7z a -tzip %s %s",epubfile,"OPS"))

and using a simple css file I can view the test epub in Adobe Digital 
Editions.

I'm used to using Sigil to edit ePubs and Context but luatex is all new 
territory for me.

Thanks
Keith
