They're most likely a bootleg copy of Mitchell On Demand. They *usually*
work (not always), but if you have any problems, you won't get any
support because they're illegal copies. I got a CD from some guy selling
as 'yuhiro2004' on eBay and when I asked him about the legality of
selling bootleg software, the turd threatened me.
If you want illegal software, you can get it yourself on various
newsgroups. No metter where you get bootleg stuff, beware of viruses. Id
ask the seller if the manual is on a CDR. That's a sure sign of
something fishy since real retailers can make copies of CD's in bulk a
lot cheaper then cdr's.

Hi Paul,
They are probably copies of the factory service manuals or CDs,
probably still in their PDF format, and maybe separated in to chapters
as these are, made to upload to news groups:

Re: Service manual's on CD (via eBay) - any good?
They're ok but not all that useful when you're actually down and dirty
working on your Jeep. Being able to flip around in the book to find
different sections with dirty greasy hands when you unexpectedly need
additional information is far better than running into the house to find and
then wait for the printer to print out another batch of pages.
