Lippmann does mention K&S and the serial compartment model.  I think that it may
be easier to reverse engineer than a parallel compartment one.  About actually
doing it, how about just sucking the actual tabular values into Mathematica and 
reconstructing the "decompression surfaces"?  You could do a surface fits on
them.
The resulting model would be entirely empirical.

Any comments about this?  I'm just toying with this idea.  Perhaps to account
for the different inert gases, the surfaces would have multipliers based upon
the solubility of the gas (they would modify the surface gradients)?  This is
very interesting stuff!

Comments welcome -

Christina :-)
