If you want to generate a couple of standardized profiles (not 100) I would
be glad to run them through Abyss and post the results.

I would consider runing three or four profiles on our three algorithms for you.
Come up with a deep air/nitrox, a simple Mixed Gas, A complex Mixed Gas, and
a repetitive series of either Air or Mixed gas dives over a couple of days.
