JPLAN (a DIE product)
A free decompression simulator for the Palm inspired by DDPLAN
This is of course not intended to be used to plan dives, one would use commercial software to do that.
Current status (Version 3 released
recent improvements and corrected bugs
Files you need to download .
Jplan.prc (The program, actually a directory with the program in it)
Mathlib.prc (A maths library, which you may already have)
I have tested it on Palm 3.5 (a m105), I think it should work on 3.1 onwards. I have used functions that require 3.1, if anyone wants to use it an earlier version I can disable those functions. If no one asks, I wont !.
You should not need to uninstall an old version first (Registration info will be remembered but profiles will be forgotten if there has been an enhancement to the file structure)
Useful info (features)
JPlan is an implementation of Erik Bakers Gradient Factor work. It can do CNS and OTU tracking.
(I have compiled his original FORTRAN program which you get here so you can compare the results to JPlan). You should also compare results to DDPLAN and GAP (to compare with gap turn alveoli water vapour on !)
I have written this for my amusement, but would appreciate if others use it (so bugs can be found faster!)
Limitations
Suggestions / bugs
Send to me tony.jay at bsac.com (my email address, the software has nothing to with the BSAC)
Manual
I haven’t written one, If you find the online (on the palm) documentation insufficient, I’ll try to improve it.
Nerdy bit
Any one with a computer can write a deco program for the Palm. All you need is the right free tools.
