Subject: Typo for Gas Constant ?


In the book "Mixed Gas Diving: The Ultimte Challenge for Technical Diving" 
(Mount, Giliam, et. al.), the Universal Gas Constant is given at 0.820 L-ATA.
My 
Chem books show it as 0.0821.

The 0.820 value screws up the example calculations on pages 99 and 100 (under 
expanding on Boyle's Law).

I believe the Chem book is correct. Anyone else notice this as a typo ? or are 
my calculations wrong ?
