	What do you mean? I'm very interested in studing decompression
	algorithms and I was getting into them looking to the divecomp
	free software program. I mean I'm a software engineer with strong
	experience in UNIX/C/C++/X/MOTIF and it was my intention to
	develop a program with various algorithms. Ask me any suggestion.
	I will do my best.

	Just a trivial question about that book. I'm going to Australia in
	december and I would like to know if this book is widely available.

	My instructor has just been into the Red Sea where it has compared
	the new Scubapro DC-12 with the Aladin Pro (I mean it dove with both
	computer on his wrists). He knows my interest into dive computer
	and made for me a table with the 2nd dive plan and some information
	about deco stops. It's my intention to type it into a file and post
	it for the list but I have not done it at now (I hope I will do it
	one of these evenings...). The only thing that I know is that it
	should consider micro-bubbles but I'm not too sure about that.
	Anyway I will let you know something more if you are interested.

	Bye Matteo Gelosa
