Agreed, but to be fair, this is true of almost every piece of software or
computer.  Decoplan and GAP, excluded (there may be others).

As a comparison to Decoplan, Proplan produces deco which very approximately
corresponds to a GFLo of 70% and GFHi of 70%.  I would expect that the VR3 is
more "conservative" than this, although it supports non-mandatory deep stops
- Pyle stops, I believe.

That's what I thought.  I hate it when a computer specification says
it uses "Modified Buhlmann", then doesn't tell you what the hell the
modification is.  It might as well not tell you anything; you'll still
have the same amount of useful information.
