Have a question.
does anyone know how to alter the default ini file within the *pubs/programs* folder to change the program interface to NOT look for the cd rom as the location for the manual information but rather to a selected folder that I have transferred all of the information from the cd to?
When one installs the service manual the program will install the PUBS folder to anywhere you decide to put it. The manuals program (I believe it is within *view16.exe*) defaults to looking for the manual on the cd disc (there is an entry in the ini file that states....*=REMOVEABLE,*,any CD-ROM Drive....). I want to just change that to look for the info in the folder on the hard drive where I have copied everything to so I no longer have keep using the disc.
My attempts at re-writing the ini keep failing.
