I ran across this link and thought I would pass it on.  As far
as I can tell it looks very promising.  I installed the wis and
it works for me.  Epc is next, but I'll need time later to do
it.
It was good for me.  Let me know how it was for you.

The documents you are pointing to are 300-400MB in size. Surely you did not
mean for the list readers to be downloading files of this size?

Why not? Don't you have a broadband connection?

Cheers!

No, not available in this area.

Ah, yeah.  Might be worth it for some to leave the computer
run all night- if you still have that 14.4 baud modem
installed.

Oh yes he did.
Just in case anyone doesn't know, WIS is Saab's own workshop manual
for the car, as used by dealers etc. I have the 9-3 WIS on CD and it's
well worth the GBP60 or so I paid Saab for it. If you do your own
maintenance on a 9-5 and you have broadband, then this download would
be a must. Not that I would condone such illegal behavior, of
course...

Cheers,

Colin.

Thanks for clarifying :-). I was thinking we were offered a nifty link, and
it was not clear it was not a virus.

I do have the workshop manual which covers all my cars - '91 900, '96 Aero,
and '00 Viggen. Very handy.

Yeah, they are big, but at least the WIS was worth it for me too, even
though it took a couple of hours to download.
Just entered my VIN and it knew all about my car.  Thanks DrDan!

TIS 2000 also installed with WIS but won't run properly: it wants to
use comm1 or comm2 and gives no other comm options - but I use ADSL
and a network connection, so TIS just sits there, trying to start.

The other downloads are not so useful as my car is 98 model and in Oz,
so I won't even try.

I didn't load the TIS, it looked like it was an interface for
the tech 2 tool which I don't have.  And I also wanted to load
1 object at a time just in case.  
Where is Oz?
Peter Wilkins - 23 Mar 2005 05:42 GMT
>Where is Oz?

Slang for Australia -"the land down under"

Don't really know why "Oz" though - think it could be:
1. Because the Queen with her Oh So Briddish accent calls it
"Orztrayya". or
2. We are called Aussies, contracts to Ozzies, hence Oz.

The majority vote probably goes to 2.

And do you really care????? :-)

And no, the petrol doesn't run out of the tank because we are
upside-down........Saab design is impeccable.

I installed WIS on Windows XP Pro with no probs.
Just unzipped everything into a new folder, it automatically created
lots of subfolders.  I then found and ran setup from the main folder.
It just asked me for what language I wanted then installed naturally
with no probs.

Make sure when you extract to tick "Use Folder Names" if you are using
WinZip: it probably won't install if all the files are in the one
folder.  

There is no config.nt in the zip file - perhaps it is something to do
with your system config?  If you do a google search for "config.nt" it
comes up with many pages of solutions to problems with config.nt, so
you may find an appropriate one.

Good luck.

This link is no longer active. Is there an alternate location for download?
