Adapted limit for better gas warning: The Better gas warning was shown more or less when the diver already passed the change depth. In the new version the better gas option is provided when the diver reachs the major digit depth (e.g. 22.9m instead 20.0m). This change does not effect the gas change depth used for deco calculation.

/// \par Varying Permeability Model (VPM) Decompression Program in c (converted from FORTRAN)

///     Author:  Erik C. Baker

///     "DISTRIBUTE FREELY - CREDIT THE AUTHORS"
///
///     This program extends the 1986 VPM algorithm (Yount & Hoffman) to include
///     mixed gas, repetitive, and altitude diving.  Developments to the algorithm
///     were made by David E. Yount, Eric B. Maiken, and Erik C. Baker over a
///     period from 1999 to 2001.  This work is dedicated in remembrance of
///     Professor David E. Yount who passed away on April 27, 2000.
///
///     Notes:
///     1.  This program uses the sixteen (16) half-time compartments of the
///         Buhlmann ZH-L16 model.  The optional Compartment 1b is used here with
///         half-times of 1.88 minutes for helium and 5.0 minutes for nitrogen.
///
///     2.  This program uses various DEC, IBM, and Microsoft extensions which
///         may not be supported by all FORTRAN compilers.  Comments are made with
///         a capital "C" in the first column or an exclamation point "!" placed
///         in a line after code.  An asterisk "*" in column 6 is a continuation
///         of the previous line.  All code, except for line numbers, starts in
///         column 7.
///
///     3.  Comments and suggestions for improvements are welcome.  Please
///         respond by e-mail to:  EBaker@se.aeieng.com
///
///     Acknowledgment:  Thanks to Kurt Spaugh for recommendations on how to clean
///     up the code.

/// The original Yount & Baker code has been adjusted for real life calculation.
///
/// 1) The original main function has been split in several functions
///
/// 2) When the deco zone is reached (while ascending) the gradient factors are kept fix
///     and critical volume algorithm is switched of. maxfirststopdepth is kept fix
///     to make shure Boeyls Law algorithm works correctly
///
/// 4) gas_loadings_ascent_descend heeds all gaschanges and CCR support has been added
