Harry,

   I too have run it on Abyss, Decom, Proplanner . . .   I suspect that the
coorelation between these algorithims and the physiological reality will
break down when running them out to 1440 minutes of bottom time.   I could be
wrong, of course, but without some reliable confirmation I hesitate to use
them for this even though the math seems logical.  

    For example, how many compartments do these programs take into
consideration in light of the fact that they are designed for recreational
diving, and is it enough ?

    If they will work then my job will be easy but I expect to find that
actual saturation schedules that meet the necessary criteria of gas
requirements (low O2 exposure) will be considerably longer than what these
programs will suggest.   

    The faster metabolism of the mice will probably make actual decompression
considerably faster than for a human but for the educational and
demonstrative purposes of this project I need to use a schedule that would be
suitable for a human. 

    I appreciate your running this and my hope is that these recreational
programs will actually work but I need confirmation that extending them to
1440 minutes does not negate their validity before I use one.

Thanks

Chuck
