Pure rubbish. There you go again, turning the truth upside down. The fact is that I was one of the earliest fans of RGBM, way before you had ever even heard of it. Check the techdiver archives for the in-depth discussion we had about it back in March of 1995 (before you ever came along). As is typical, the WKPP types come along much later and imply they invented it. I wanted to get the RGBM algorithms and the source so that Phi can put it in his Palm DecoWeenie software, which is the best thing going in the way of decompression programs. I asked Chris Parrett to port Abyss over to the Palm several years ago, but he e-mailed me that there was no market for it. And to add to that, Abyss still doesn't support constant PPO2 divers, with or without RGBM (a beta is just getting started). If RGBM was developed, tested, etc under contract with the US Govt, or by a govt employee using govt resources, then it is required to be public domain (by law). Back when I worked in the aerospace industry, all source code for the weapons system software I developed under US govt contract was owned by the US govt, not the contractor. Privately developed stuff is totally different - we do not use govt labs for product development. As it is, Bruce Wienke e-mailed me privately, and said that RGBM was developed using his own personal resources (in Fortran on his PC). I assume this includes all of development - design, coding, simulation, testing, etc. Somehow I was under the assumption that this was developed and / or tested at Los Alamos National Labs, using LANL resources. Fair enough. By the way, I've heard that you've been looking around to take a Mk-15 rebreather class. Did you know that Kevin The Dude is going to be teaching one down in your area in mid-March? Give him a call at (814)395-3609 and he'll set you up. If you've been saving up your pennies, maybe you'll even be able to afford one from him this time around.

They do a lot of Government work, too. The fact is you don't believe any of this works anyway because it does not fit your "reality", so it is unlikely that you have any real interest here in doing anything but what the rest of the onlookers do - "demand" that we tell how we do things that you do not need to know about. -----Original Message----- From: Young, Christina [mailto:christina.young@in*.co*] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 5:00 PM To: 'brw@la*.go*' Cc: 'techdiver@aquanaut.com' Subject: Re: MORE:: RGBM vs VPM Deco Models Hi Bruce, This is very interesting and convincing, RGBM certainly appears to more rigorously developed and tested compared to anything else out there. Since this was developed at LANL using U.S. Government supercomputers and other resources, it is public domain, right? Can you point me to where I can obtain the algorithms and source code?
