cfg83, thanks for the detailed post. I am not a programmer, however I wouldn't back away from writing some stuff. I have a few friends up at work that could help me out if it was anything with Perl, php, etc.

Ha ha, I was going to say a touchscreen would solve alot of in-car problems. But yes, just set it to datalog and/or your favorite and forget it for the trip. Even if you don't program, you have the option if you ever want to.

The source is in C language. Here is a requirements excerpt from the README.TXT :

Windows:
- 486DX 25Mhz Processor or better

Hey, you can take 15 bucks off the single protocol elmscan to make it 35 dollars. That will make my budget for this project jump for joy .
