/// \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
