Default Diacom software

I just bought back the Diacom diagnostics kit from the current owner of a C4 that I sold about 10 years ago. The software used to run on a DOS machine and I see from Rinda Technologies web site that you can run it from Windows 3.XX and Windows 95 by exiting the operating system and going back to DOS.

Does anyone know if you can you get any software that runs on Windows XP?

Supposidly the latest version will run on a P2 to P3 platform. However I have yet to get it to work on an old IBM P2 platform with windows 98. I have an old P2 dell that I will try next with Windows 98. Hopefully one of them can be made to work. I am the original owner of this software package, so I may need to call Rhinda for help if none of the above works. I have a feeling that it will not work on a XP machine.

I've been able to run it in Win Me within a "DOS box"...and not have to exit the OS.
