one is free and the other is not.  How do they vary???  What are the VPlanner's
weaknesses. At this point I am only interested in air and Nitrox. Any and most
all comments would be appreciated.

This is a totally different approach to decompression theory.  The people who
published this software would be the first to tell you that you should stick
with a tried and true decompression software package.  VPM is still very
experimental
and anyone using it should know that.
If you're interested in air and Nitrox, I would assume that you're talking about
diving in the range of 130 feet or less.  That being said, pick a standard
software
package.  If you want to go freeware, get GAP.  If you have a palm or other
PDA, get decoweenie.  If you want the most highly regarded, go with decoplanner.
