[R129 SL] Re: R129 DVD ROM

[Bob Terry]

I got the DVD from Jonathan Hodgman.  The plug-in required by Acrobat is "ops.api".  It is on the DVD in the folder \Acrobat\Reader\plug_ins.  If you copy this to the plug_ins folder of the Acrobat on your hard drive, then you don't have to run Acrobat from the DVD.  Additionally, I recommend copying one other plug-in in the same manner:  "eactw32.exe".  This allows you to copy a PDF file from the DVD to your hard drive and then open it without using the browser.  However -- and this may seem strange -- you still must have a CD or DVD in your drive with eactw32.exe on it to open the file.

Further notes:
  a.. On my DVD, the early Roadster Soft Top (RST) diagnostic manual is for the W124 chassis!
  b.. There are hundreds of duplicate files on the DVD in the folder \classic\rd\docs.  It is my experience that this includes any file where the first two letters in the filename are capitalized as well as any that begin with the characters "ra_".  This is significant to me, because only one of my PCs has a DVD drive; and by ignoring these duplicates and omitting some minor content, it become possible to burn a CD with the DVD's contents.  To make mine, I omitted the owner's manuals for years 1999 and 2000, and while I was at it, I replaced the W124 RST manual with the proper one for the R129.
