It looks like the Index.DLF files with descriptions were stripped from the message.

If you want all of the drawings, first off, you need to get the CD - I was offered the download by Carl Constanten some years ago. If needed, I should be able to provide a link to the CD on my Onedrive - I wonder if we shouldn't just put the whole thing on R-390a.net with a searchable database? Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to do that but, I did have enough skill to put on my Windows desktop. 1. As I think we have all discovered, the IndexR program on the CD with the diagrams only installs on Windows 95 but . I found a more recent version of the program from the Army that works on Windows Vista, 7 and 10 and, I assume, 11. You can download from here - https://g6msd.redstone.army.mil/msd_ref/IndexRSetup_V60031.exe Windows 10 will tell you that it may harm the computer and you need to jump through a few hoops to first download and then to run it to install. 2. Once you install the IndexR program and run it: a. click File Open, Open a file of the selected type - Index file b. Navigate to where you have the documents from the CD filed and, under folder 17310 or 22971, click on the Index.DLF file. So, that gets us the index to all the drawings that particular directory and I figured out how to get the files to open in the viewer program by double clicking. i. Under File | Configure, first click on the Directories Tab. Under there, I put the following: Index File Path: C:\Users\garyb\OneDrive\R-390A\R-390A Drawings [where I saved the drawings] Drawing Header File Path: C:\Users\garyb\OneDrive\R-390A\R-390A Drawings\17310 [You can also use 22971 if you want to open the drawings in that folder] I left the next 2 directories as they were populated by the program. 3. Rather than using an updated version of ImageR to open the image files (thats the program on the CD), I decided to use XnView Classic or XnView MP. If either of those programs are installed, then when you select the correct file in the IndexR program and it will open. You can then print to PDF in that program. You must ensure that .c4 files are associated with the viewer program that you decide to use. I have added descriptions to the Index.DLF files under 17310 and 22971 and they are attached to be used in place of the index.DLF files on the CD. To "convert" to PDF, in the XnView program, select Print and under the printer select your favourite PDF printer - I use Microsoft Print to PDF and then save the output as a PDF. I spent some time one night editing some of the PDFs in Adobe Acrobat to make them fill more of a page when printing. As an example, see the 2 attached no. 86 under directory 13710/00/00, one original and one edited.

I do not remember from where they came, however,,, I also have the four .pdf attached which I believe to came from the same dataset. Please let us know if more of those "old format" files can be successfully converted... 73, Jacques, VE2JFE in Montreal -----Message d'origine----- De : [email protected] <[email protected]> De la part de Tom M. via R-390 Envoyé : 14 août 2024 14:35 À : [email protected] Objet : [R-390] Knob Drawings PDF's here I spent a good bit of time trying to housebreak the R-390A drawing set today.They are in C4 format.The original indexer and viewer would not work on my PC as the apps are 25 years old. I found newer apps online but still could not get the indexer to work so I was flying blind in the documents (over 900) but eventually found the knob drawings. I then converted them to PDF.
