The math Sheck put into his program is the Buhlmann's ZH-L16 algorithm with 
these modifications:

 - instant descend to the bottom is assumed.
 - the time to first stop is included in bottom time at maximum depth for 
decompression calculation  (he does that using recursive functions).
 -  the bottm time is further adjusted by a logarithmic function of time that 
has the effect of making the tables generated by DR.X equivalent, or more 
conservative than those of Hamilton Research Ltd. and Oceaneering 
Corporation.

Interesting. Does anyone who knows more about the algorithm than I do see how
this can produce a stop deeper than the max depth after clearing the diver on
his first dive?
