       I have two versions of the ETKA program available.  ETKA V5 covers all 
European Volkswagen & Audi models 1947 ~ 1998.  ETKA V5.3 covers all North 
American Volkswagen, Audi & Skoda models 1947 ~ 2001.  You need a monitor 
capable of 1280 x 1024 resolution to run these programs.  The program is PC 
only, and will run under all versions of Windows. They can be run from the 
disc using roughly 60 MB of HD space or installed completely on your HD using 
roughly 400 MB.  I sell the programs for $10 each post-paid.  Payment can be 
made using <A HREF="http://paypal.com/">PayPal</A> with "RAlanen@aol.com" as the payee or by sending cash 
wrapped in a sheet of paper with your shipping info to:

or>>>> here is a way to access the downed Russian site if you have the time 
to fool around.

1) Go to http://babelfish.altavista.com/ . Using the "Translate Web Page"
option near the bottom of the page, enter the URL
http://catalog.exist.ru/audivw/  in the box and choose "Russian to English."
Then hit TRANSLATE.

2) On the following pages, as prompted....
    a. Click on VW, choose the year of your VW, and click on the gold button
    b. Choose the model and engine type.
    c. Chooose the parts group you want to view (engine, interior, etc.).

3) This brings you to a page letting you select between more specific parts
type options. But some of the descriptions look very odd.  This is because
some of these descriptions on the original page are in English to begin
with, while others are in Russian.  The ones that are already in English are
confusing the AltaVista translator.  So, on the top of the page is an
AltaVista toolbar with an option labeled "View  page in its original
Language."   Click on it and a new window will open showing the unmodified
page.  By looking at the both versions of the page (original and translated)
you can now identify each parts type option. After choosing one, be sure to
click on the gold button to the left near the bottom that takes you to the
next page.

4) Now you have reached the final page, showing part numbers and diagrams.
This page is completely in English on the original site, not Russian.  If
you're seeing weird translations, then you're still looking at it through
the AltaVista translator.  Click on "View  page in its original Language" at
the top of the page to see the whole page in English.
