No, I've not been able to as yet. I'm in the process of building up the
tables that I do have.

Yes, that I understand. What I was wanting to do make myself aware of the
permutations available and choose one of those to give an approximation =
of
the dive profile characteristics as per my the Suunto Dive Computer (DC).=
 My
reason for that is to be able to make myself more fully aware of roughly =
how
the DC will react for a dive of a certain planned profile.

This is what I hope to do... when I am able to source copies of the =
various
tables (I am in the process of buying Lippmans' "Deeper Into Diving" =
which I
understand goes some way to giving me this information.

If there was a web site with these tables on tho', that would make life
easier ;-)
