Now you can.

With Nine Lives, we've collected the experience of nearly three dozen Jaguar enthusiasts to bring you an easy-to-use CD-ROM compilation of technical articles. It's designed for intuitive use, with no software to install -- it's based on hypertext documents, just like what you're reading now. If you can read this screen, then Nine Lives will work on your computer.

Nine Lives includes over 450 entries and nearly 2,000 photos and diagrams from 32 Jaguar enthusiasts. It includes Kirby Palm's comprehensive Experience In A Book: Help for the XJ-S Owner. Printed out, the information on the CD would require over 1,000 printed pages. All this information is sorted by subject and is also keyword-searchable.

The CD also includes Microsoft Word Viewer and Adobe Acrobat Reader, so you'll have everything you need to read the non-hypertext portions of the disc.

Nine Lives will primarily benefit owners of the Jaguar XJ-S, XJ6, XJ12, XJC, and E-Type/XKE, though with Jaguar's penchant for parts sharing, the information on this CD can benefit almost any model of Jaguar.

System Requirements: The Windows version of the CD requires any version of Microsoft Windows and a relatively recent edition of Microsoft Internet Explorer. The Macintosh/Linux version of the CD requires Macintosh OS9 or greater, or almost any version of Linux, plus Microsoft Internet Explorer or a compatible hypertext browser. The Macintosh/Linux version comes with a program to aid MacOS9 in reading the OSX-prepared CD. The search function and the reader applications are omitted from the Macintosh/Linux version.
