Redefine Deco gas creation function: The old function needed a lot of iteration to get through all gases. With the change to define the first gas in PSCR mode as deco gas for calculation (because the actual gas could be not breathable close to surface => deco planing would be based on > 80% nitrogen increasing the deco prediction higher than necessary) the need showed up to somehow define the first gas as deco gas. Instead of manipulating the gas attribute the deco list creation function was changed to create the list based on gas line pointer information instead of index lists. The new function needs less iterations for sorting and is more flexible regarding gas handling.

# How to Make an Uploadable Firmware File for the OSTC4 #

Generated BIN files from the SMT32 Workbench need modification in order to be installed via the OSTC Companion onto the OSTC4. 

## Build Command Line Tools ##

These can be found in /ostc4pack (For Windows, CPP sources available)

## Run the Tools Manually ##

1. Copy generated BIN files (From the Release or debug directory) into /ostc4pack. Or: Modify .bat files to point to your Release or debug directory.
2. run step1_create_OSTC_RTE_upload.bat and/or step1_create_OSTC4_firmware_upload_bin.bat (Depending on which part you made changes)
3. run step2_create_OSTC4update_bin.bat to create final OSTC4update_xxxxxx.bin, with xxxxxx being the current date in YYMMDD format. This will add important checksums required for the OSTC4's bootloader to accept the file.

## Upload this file with the OSTC Companion software to the OSTC4 ##
