Grady,
	You are on the money- and that's what this is all about. The problem 
is that what should have been done is reverse this order. Validation, 
that is proving the system in Little River, Ginnie, or even the Leon 
Sinks system, leads to acceptance which, in turn, leads to sales. I 
don't know a whole lot about rebreathers but I do understand that the 
process being followed is an attempt at short-cutting proper 
development and one thing I *have* learned is that, at best, 
shortcuts don't work and, at worst, can be disasterous. With lives at 
stake on the outcome, this is unconscionable. (my opinion)
C.
