Question "Home Dyno" program. Still around?

SECOND UPDATE:
I've been trying to get it to work, but I can't get the WAVE file to come out quite right. I think it has to do with my inductive pick-up set up. I'll need some help. Check it out in post #11.

DOWNLOADS:
Download for Street Dyno

Download for PowerDyn Trail. (Can't use horsepower and torque, but you can use the tachometer feature it has)

Original:
I've run into several sites where people mention a program called the "Home Dyno." It basically is a pickup you connect to your spark plug wire, and then you plug the other end into a recording device. You follow the instructions, something like get in second gear and floor it from 1000 to redline or rev. limiter. Then you upload the audio file and the Home Dyno program analysis the spark data you collected based on a large amount of data you input (car weight, temperature, altitude, coefficient of drag, etc.) and it will output a dyno graph for you. I've heard this is more accurate than G-Tech.

However, I cant seem to find this anywhere. The links to its homepage are down. I think the company was bought out and the product was discontinued (sadly), but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any information about this and where I could get one? I'd really like to get my hands on one.

If its discontinued would it be unlawful to put to put software file on the internet for free download and put the schematics for the pickup on internet as well? If it'd be legal could someone do this if they have this product?

Here are some links about it.
