	Maybe we need Nilman to point up stuff like this.

	Last time I looked, they had been in use for years. By
recreational, sport and professional divers. And then some bozo coined
the phrase Technical and the rest of us breathed a sigh of relief as the
nobs wandered off into a new club. This is the sort of question covered
in eq. 101.

	And there is no reason not to post non-techie questions. But why
the WOB here, when rec.scuba is carrying the same questions?

	That's what it is. That's what it's called, and that's what it
does.
