I'm working on a commercial version of my decompression simulation package,
'divecomp', that many of you may be familiar with as a piece of freeware that
runs with the crude "curses" library on UNIX systems. The final release will
be for MS Windows 3.1, and Macintosh System 7.X, with all the capabilities
in the freeware version plus arbitrary handling of mixed gas, including the
ability to change mixes in the middle of a simulated dive.

I plan to offer this commercial version for under $50; If anyone out there
can describe in detail to me the format of the information dumped by the
Nemesis, I'll include the capability to read in this data format in the
released product.

I don't expect to be releasing this until about March 94.
