robinzon · 1st June 2007, 23:39

Hey guys,

I am getting errors in ZIP file when I download VR3 manual from delta-p site. can someone post the file here. Also, does anyone have the "easy to use" VR3 manual (not only the Operators Manual).

Thanks

pm me your email address and I'll mail a copy unzipped to you. Warning it is 8 Meg though so you should have a decent size inbox.
