I'm in the same boat. I found a copy online but its in Russian or something and is near impossible to make sense of.

Would be nice to have all those diagrams to hand again.. Wish I'd printed that stuff out when VAGCAT was still working.

Do you know how to get it to auto update?
I have not long ago wiped my hard drive, and the time it takes to update all the updates again takes hours, and you have to keep pressing buttons. :roll:

My copy doesn't work on windows 7 normally but I run it under XP Mode
( :ok This is a feature of certain versions of Windows 7 that allows you to run incompatible programs straight from the start menu (not the same as compatibility mode))

But before I buy a copy does anyone know if it can be run under Linux (with or without wine)?

Here's a link the source - http://www.vagcat.com/index.php?showtopic=13080" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I have asked the OP but he doesn't know if it will work or not.
