my 'local' dive centre recently downloaded all the dives from my suunto vyper to a floppy disk for me. I downloaded the Suunto DM software and got myself a PC logbook. Great. The problem came when I wanted to update the logbook. I copied it to floppy, and the same centre transferred my latest dives to the floppy. But when I got home to my PC, all the user-entered info (dive sites, buddies, gear etc) from the earlier dives had disappeared.
1) is this just an example of the sometimes dodgy way the software seems to behave?
2) is the transfer in some way PC-specific (i.e. does the transfer have to be done to the same PC to keep that user-entered info)?
3) if (2) is true and it is just naff programming, is there a way to copy dives from one logbook to another?
This was mentioned as a side-issue in a previous thread, but nobody seemed to pick up on it. Any light you can shed on the matter would be appreciated.
