Anyone use the GAP deco software? I'm new to starting to look into deco theory and understand it all. Any tips on learning to use this tool?

I can't stand GAP either...hate to start another rant, but why do all the crappy software packages (from a UI standpoint) have to be the only ones with RGBM???WreckWriter once bubbled...
get V-Planner or decoplanner instead, they're much easier to use. GAP is not user friendly in my opinion.

Speaking about deco software. Does anyone know how to force V-Planner to make a deco stop at a ppo2 of 1.6? For example 50% @ 70'? Setting the values in config doesn't seem to make any difference. The only thing I have found is to set a "dummy" dive value in the left column, say 70,3,50 and choose that after the main profile. Very annoying.
Also, on the V-P vs GAP issue. We were planning a fairly simple mix dive for last weekend (150 for 25 using 22/45) using V-P and GAP. Althought they came up with nearly the same RT, the backgas usage had a delta of 20 cuft using the same values for RMV.
Anybody with both programs seeing this?

Go into config and set it so there is a minimum stop time at gas switches. I think that'll do it.
