Aqua DiveLog for Palm OS Project

Documentation (Draft)

This is an Open Source project.

The goal of this project is to develop a flexible and easy to use dive logbook for Palm OS based PDA.
The advantages of the old paper logbook (small, lightweight and easy to use) should be combined with the power of a computer (interface to dive computer, search functions, data access , à).

If you are interested in the project, have any suggestions, bugreports, etc. - please send a mail to: stephan.veigl@aquadivelog.org

Open Source Project

As mentioned above, this is a open source project, that means:

it's free for everyone
You can download the software, copy it to your friends, or do what ever you want. As long, as you don't sell it and claim it's your own product.

everyone is invited to work on it
And there is a lot of work to do.
for example: implementing new features, testing or writing a better documentation than this one :-)

This software is provided "AS IS" and without any expressed or implied warranties; including, without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

I decided to distribute Aqua DiveLog for Palm OS under the GNU General Public License (GPL). See the GNU Homepage for details.
However the Desktop Conduit is NOT under GPL, but still freeware and open source. If you want a copy of the source code for development purpose, send a email to stephan.veigl@aquadivelog.org. I will think about a adequate licence similar to the GPL.

This program is experimental, and you use it at your own risk.

It is provided as a tool for appropriately trained divers.
Diving in general is fraught with risk, and decompression diving adds significantly more risk.
Some features of this software supports diving activities far beyond recreational sport diving. These activities (e.g. mixed gas diving, etc.) are hazardous activities and should not be undertaken without adequate training.
But you should know this already.
