Open Source Decompression Software

[ozymandium]

Hi friends,

I'm looking for recommendations for open source software libraries with decompression models. Any and all recommendations are welcome. Three that have been really great resources thus far are decotengu, dipplanner and subsurface.

Baker's original Fortran code for VPM is hosted on decompression.org, but I'm not able to access it for whatever reason. Anyone know an alternate repository that hosts it?

Cheers!

@tursiops Thanks! Do you happen to know if anyone has created bindings for interoperability with modern languages?

I do not know. One would hope....

Yeah, Github doesn't seem to have anything. Presumably the dive computer companies would have rewritten it from scratch in C, but friends in Aerospace say that there's tons of legacy systems still running on Fortran 77.

Amazing. Bless you.

There are Python bindings for Fortran. That would be my approach.

I only tried to run Erik Baker's code once, gcc-gfortran ran it just fine after I changed the one MS-special operator to the standard one. I expect the rest will work equally well.

Personally I'd rewrite it in python (or go or rust) instead of using bindings, but I suspect VPM might be a bit hairy.
