Liquivision DC support?

[Henrik Brautaset Aronsen]

Maybe a talk with the Diving Log guys could help?

   "OK, great news: I've heard back from Liquivision and got already 
some material - and also a direct download with Diving Log seems not too 
far away, but I can't promise more about that right now. An import is 
almost working already."

   "So, here we go: Thanks to the documentation I got yesterday, I 
finally managed to read the Dive Log file format (*.lvd) and created a 
first import which you can test. It works with the 2 logbook files I 
have, but it is possible that it has still bugs. I managed to import 
almost all data, except profile events (e.g. warnings and gas switches). 
If you have any logbook files containing dive profiles with gas switches 
and warnings, please send me the files."
