Scuba Diving Programs for iPAQ PocketPC

Blender
Blender The Blender program was based on reading up on the work of Van der Waals on real gases rather than the ideal gas. Using this program I routinely blend 300bar nitrox and trimix breathing gases.

Fill in the current contents of the cylinder and the required contents and it will generate the actions to obtain it. The menu on the Mode at the bottom offers you the ability to switch it back to the Ideal gas laws we all learned in OW and a tick to say if you want to add helium first if blending a mix that requires both helium and oxygen. The Exit command is also on the menu.

The most recently blended mix is retained in the system registry so restarting the program should return you to where you left off.

If you know enough to be blending gases then you know enough to measure the mix before breathing it but also beware of assuming that the previous mix is what it says on the label.

Please note: The current program uses volume in litres and pressure in bar. Currently there are no plans for cu ft and psi.

Download iBlender.zip, unzip it and copy to the iPAQ.
I put it in "My Device" | "Program Files" | "Nigel" (I created the "Nigel" folder to match all the other programs that are in a folder by the supplier's name).
Then click-and-hold on it to get the pop-up menu and select "Copy".
Then go to "My Device" | "Windows" | "Start Menu" and click-and-hold in open space and select "Paste Shortcut". Click-and-hold on that and select "Rename" to make it "Blender" not "Shortcut to Blender".
After that it should appear on the start menu like a good little program.

nvDeco
I developed nvDeco as an exercise in understanding the mathematics behind decompression programs and tables. I use it and I quite like it but it has restrictions that I can live with but that I'm not going to fix so I am not happy to be passing on to other people.

I know it was here for a long time and a lot of people down-loaded it so if you are using it and want another copy email me and we can negotiate.

For the IPAQ I'd probably recomend GAP-Lite.

All programs here ©Copyright Nigel V. Hewitt 2000/2007. No promises that they work or even give safe results are made. They are free and worth nothing more than that. If anybody tries to charge you for them, other than a reasonable price for the media they are supplied on, then demand your money back in an unreasonable and unfriendly manner. You use them at your own risk as part of range of diving tools - do not use any results without independent corroboration that they are safe.

I do not own a palm top other than the iPAQ and I will not provide software like this that I do not use and test myself so please do not ask for other PDA variants.
