Yeah - thats lame. Worse is they didn't even adopt the whole enchilada correctly
by using the ISO9141-2 standard. On the other hand, a standard is better than no
standard. And due to the competition that can follow thats gotta help lower the
price of diagnostic equipment if nothing else.

Thanks for the good info!
