Multilevel 1.6

2. Licence and Installation

2.1 The Software Package
Multilevel 1.6 is shareware. This means, that the software can be freely distributed to third parties and tested for a total of 30 days. If you want to use this program after the evaluation period, you have to pay a registration fee of 30 German Marks (15 Euro). The registration demand should be sent to juergen.bohnert@uni-tuebingen.de. The alteration or uncomplete distribution of Multilevel 1.6 is prohibited. All rights of authorship stay with the original author.

Information on the software can be obtained under http://cave.lawo.de/jbohnert/multilevel_int/index.htm .

2.2 Installation
The shareware package Multilevel 1.6 can be downloaded from the server in the form of a zip-compressed file. After the extraction of the files, Multilevel 1.6 can be lauched by loading the file index.htm in a Java-capable WWW-Browser or a Java appletviewer.

Multilevel 1.6 is an Applet-/Application hybride. It will run on either a pure Java Runtime Environment (e.g. Java Development Kit) or on a WWW-browser. Hence the spectrum of this software is markedly enlarged, since a wide variety of Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) for numerous operating systems is available. However, on most generally used operating systems one will use a WWW-browser, which will simply do the job without any problem. In case you have good reason for using Multilevel as pure application on a Java Runtime Environment be reffered to http://java.sun.com . There you can download a lot of JVMs and get more info on Java and related issues.
Here is a simple example: you have downloaded and installed JDK1.02 under Windows 95/98. The next step is to create a path in your autoexec.bat, which points to the \bin - directory of the JDK:
PATH c:\ jdk102\bin (where \jdk102\ must be replaced by the name of your own JDK-directory).
Now the computer must be rebooted and everything should work smoothly.
To start Multilevel you have to open your MS-DOS window and type:
C:\> java multilevel_16_i_unreg <RETURN>

2.3 Liability
The software, specified under 2.1 has been developed and tested with the greatest care. However, even a carefully programmed decompression software cannot totally exclude the possibility of a DCI. The calculation of decompression schedules is based on preliminary assumptions, which do by the very nature of a linear decompression model (ZH-L17B_TS) not reflect the true conditions in individual divers. Therefore the author of Multilevel 1.6 accepts no liability for any damage, that might result from using this software.
