I got a number of replies, and each person seemed to have a different approach to the problem! The most useful solution I found was from someone who sent me a macro file that did it all for me. I am quite happy to email this to you as an attachment and explain how to use it. Before I do that I am wondering if you have tried the new version of ZPlan called ZPlanner? This uses a "Graphical User Interface" in which you simply enter your dive info (depth, time etc) into the boxes and click on "calculate". It has a box in which you can enter your surface interval time! Saves a lot of mucking around. It is in effect the same program as ZPlan, but someone has added on the "Windows" approach. The deco schedule appears in a box in text format, which you can still "cut and paste" into a word processor and print or save for later use, or maybe email it to your buddy by way of planning your next dive schedule (this is one of the advantages of ZPlan over the other programs I have seen). There is a link to this program on the Trimix web site (under "tools", Ross Hemingway's GUI interface ZPlanner) http://www.cisatlantic.com/trimix/trimix.html While your at the trimix site check out the GAP program (Kees Hofwegen). Its approach to deep stops seems to be gathering favour over the ZPlan (Pyle stops) approach. If you still want me to send you the file to run ZPlan with the -s option email me. Hope this helps, Dave. >-- >Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. >Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'. > > -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
