LUNGA

These are the files you need. You can send them from the package contents below.

• DONALD.DAT → A:\_DAT configuración 601 B
• MICKEY.DAT → A:\_DAT configuración 416 B
• LUNGA.CFG → A:\_DAT configuración 56 B
• LUNGA.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 26.2 KB

No need to put PADI1.TAB, PADI2.TAB, PADI3.TAB, SSI1.TAB, SSI2.TAB, SSI3.TAB, DOCU.TXT, DOCU200.TXT: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 29.3 KB on a 1 MB disk.

1. Copy LUNGA.EXE to A:\SOFT. They are DOS programs: run them from the DOS icon, or add A:\SOFT to the PATH in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to call them by name.
2. Copy DONALD.DAT, MICKEY.DAT, LUNGA.CFG to A:\_DAT, where the 200LX looks for configuration. Open it with Memo and adjust it before use.
3. If you edit a configuration file on the palmtop, make sure you leave a newline at the end: some programs swallow the last line without saying a word.

Derived from the package contents and the 200LX conventions. It installs to A: on purpose: C: is a RAM disk and every byte there is memory taken from the system.

Installation
Just copy the files of this package to the same directory.
type 'LUNGA' from the ms-dos command line to start the program.

Using the program
You should already know how to document a dive (and understand
expressions like 'surfac interval', 'residual nitrogen time' or
'actual bottom time'). The program is intuitiv/self-explaining
(at least this was my aim). A simple online help is available
by pressing 'F1' (='HELP' on HP-LX palmtop computer).

Adding/removing divers, using tables
The names of the divers are given by the configuration file
'lunga.cfg'. Example files for divers 'Donald' and 'Mickey'
are included in this package.
Use a text editor to change the divers names in 'lunga.cfg'.
In that file each diver is define by a line 'DIVER: ###'
where '###' is the diver's name (maximum length 8 characters,
only letters or digits, no space (' ') allowed).
The number of divers in not
limited, but only the first two divers are shown in LUNGA.
The name of the dive table is also given in 'lunga.cfg'.
That file must begin with 'TABLE: ###', where '###' is the
table name. At the moment only 'PADI' and 'SSI' are supported.

Dive tables
The data used in LUNGA is compatibel to the the tables used
at PADI/SSI.
What does LUNGA do if the limits of this tables are exceeded:
I. if depth-limit exceeded: instead of a pressure group
   the sign '' is shown. If there is residual nitrogen
   from the last dive, a residual nitrogen time 999'
   is used. The calculation for the next dive is based
   on pressure group 'Z'.

I. if the total bottom time is exceeded: instead of a pressure
   group the symbol '' is shown. The calculation for the
   next dive is based on pressure group 'Z'.

I. if surface-interval is to short for a new dive: a residual
   nitrogen time 999' is used.
