Need OBD1 Diagnostic software

I am looking for a diagnostics program for the OBD1 LT1's. I have an LS1 and have a dianostic program but some of my non computer literate friends with LT1's need help with diagnostic stuff. So what programs r out there and how much do they cost. thanks.

nope, won't work.... unless you have a '95... then the plug is the same, but I believe having an OBDI changes the wire scheme. I think I paid like 75 bucks for my cable and it does everything I want it to... including programming it.
