Gee, no kidding... I am a programmer for Microsoft and I can only agree with you that the feature set of the Datatrack software is limited. Concerning the metric mode of the software, If you enter volume, in litres, at STP (STandard Pressure == 1 ATM?), then still how does it know the difference between a low pressure tank and a high pressure tank? I'm waking up... You tell it the volume at 1 ATM, then you have both a volume AND pressure reference point and the rest is linear. Thanks. I'll look at the specs for my tanks, switch to metric to figure-out which number I need to enter, switch back to English, see how the numbers were converted and it's done. Thanks again, this will solve my problem.
