Subject: TDI? IANTD? Relationship?

Greetings!

I recall reading something recently about ANDI/IANTD/TDI crossovers.  What I
remember is that IANTD/TDI have a 1-1 corespondance between their ratings, and
ANDI does not.  So, you can easily crossover between IAN/TDI but not w/ the
ANDI classes.  Is this so?

I also recall that the three agencies got together (during DEMA mayhap?) and
tried to iron out crossovers, and that IAN/TDI did, ANDI did not.

Questions:

What is the history of IANTD and TDI?  Is TDI an offspring of IAN?

If so, what made it spring off, so to speak?

Specificaly: I am ANDI full Nitrox certified, does anyone know how that
translates to the IANTD sequence Basic/Advanced/Tech?

Is IANTD Basic Nitrox NOAAI or NOAAII, Advanced is Any %O2 up to 50%, and Tech 
includes up to 100% in deco situations?  If this is so, then ANDI full user
is Advanced.

Anyway, clarification from someone who knows will be appreciated.
