INTRODUCTION

Diver's Log is a program that will help you keep track of all
of your dives. All entries you made in your log book you can now
make in Diver's Log. Diver's Log can also help you build a dive
profile for your next dive. All calculations are done for you,
the only information you need to supply is depth,time and surface
interval.

Diver's Log is distributed as shareware. This means you may
copy and even give copies to your friends. If you like the
program you should send $15.00 to the address on the first page
of this document.

DIVE TABLE MAINTENANCE

I will explain dive table maintenance in future updates if I
see some $$$ action. In a nutshell you can create your own
tables or change existing tables. You can add PADI or NAVY
tables or if your a DIVE MD make up your own! I have
included the utility COPYTBL that allows you to copy a table
from one table file to another.
