New Version 2.30 adds support for Windows XP and numerous minor enhancements & fixes.

Version 2.20 added support for Windows 98 and Windows 2000 and numerous minor enhancements & fixes.

Note 1 - Previously "registered" versions 2.0 and 2.01 of the old BCM Diagnostics "shareware" products are no longer being distributed or supported by BCM Advanced Research.

Note 2 - There is no upgrade path from the old registered "shareware" products to BCM Diagnostics Pro v.2.20 or v.2.30

Background - In mid 2000 BCM Advanced Research, the world-famous motherboard manufacturer and creator of BCM Diagnostics "shareware" products, told us that they no longer wanted to be in the PC Diagnostic software business.

Since manufacturing and marketing PC diagnostic software products is all we have done since 1984, they asked us if we would be interested in taking over the development & marketing rights to BCM Diagnostics. We told them we had no interest in a "shareware" product but would be interested in converting BCM Diagnostics into a "purchaseware" product.

After lengthy discussions we came to an agreement for the development & marketing rights to BCM Diagnostics. We updated it to support Windows 98 & 2000, and then released BCM Diagnostics Pro v.2.20 as "purchaseware".
