Hi,

Just got new Reader. Just found Connect needs XP. :-((

But you can still do different things with Reader. ebook.dll works fine, just 1) copy it in a directory, 2) install prsusb (driver, two files: prsusb.inf and prsusb.sys), 3) copy prsctr.dll to the same directory. (The files are inside Data1.cab file on the CD) At least I can see files with "ebook.py ls /" command. :-))

Long Live IgorSk!

I said non-XP? OK, but not any non-XP. Mine is W2K. Maybe NT4 will do as well...

Did I loose something with not having Connect?
