Jess, the guy who wrote it, Dale, lives here . He brought me a copy and I
installed it, used it a few times, and then ask Bill Mee to check the
programming. It has a lot of unnecessary detail, just like Abyss does, and is
not fast enough for my extreme impatience (since I know the deco aready), but
we
have not finished checking it for accuracy to the algorithm. I can flat out
tell
you right now that none of these things gives the correct or best deco, so you
will still have to do some other steps to come up with the answers, but hat is
true of all of them.
In case any of you geeks want to argue this, first tell me your experience ,
and then we will talk, so that ends that. For the constant disbelievers, check
out Jean-Pierre Imbert's work - although he weenieizes it for the strokes he
has
to deal woth, he long ago figured out that TWO models are required - go argue
with him, he at least needs the practice.
Or , you can check out Weinke's stuff or Eric Maiken ( he is now in Japan,
no longer ot U of Cal. Good luck. The Chinese studies are excellent as well, if
you can understand the math - maybe Bill Rennaker can give you a hand with
this.
