[ot] etka info for those who don't know

[foxxinabox at wideopenwest.com (Foxx (in a box))]

   as i'm only in digest mode, i'm not getting every e-mail but i have 
seen some questions come up.

1) as for compatibility, this should take care of most the major 
problems. we had it running on nt, 98, 98se, me, 2000, and xp. it was 
quite stable on all platforms. version 6.3 was designed with some extra 
stability for xp in mind. this was simply the last update for the etka 
that i could find.

2) as for updates, i did include this in a previous message. there are 
update packets available but they require the unaltered file to d/l 
them. i believe it's included (i can make it available) but the program 
will not run with it unaltered. sort of a catch 22. i'm currently 
working on a fix for this but it is taking some time. ALSO, it would 
only update to 573(?) as any further updates would require v6.3 of the etka.

3) for those of you wondering, the benefit to this newer etka is that 
you can superceeded part info and have a better idea of what is and 
isn't available. it also helps if you have a newer vw. the search and 
reference capabilities of v6.2 over v5.0 are very much imporved.

4) if you have a mki, you will still find body information in section 8 
of the scirocco section. if you are searching for anything else, you 
will have to look in the german jetta (jeg) then the german rabbit (rag) 
sections. any parts differences should be noted in the comments field 
with 'sci' or 'scir'.

5) if you have any questions about how the program runs or how to do 
this and that, press F1. the help screen has gotten much better over 
time. additionally, if you have a question that can't be answered by F1, 
e-mail me off list and i'll see what i can do for you. thanx.
