That's just the whole dive file.

Yeah,. and I refuse to use shit like that.

Sorry, Jeff, but if it's a string, it had better be *defined* as a
string. Not "random memory data that you aren't guaranteed to be able
to show".

The DC_SAMPLE_VENDOR callback could be any garbage, certainly *not*
something that subsurface could then show as divecomputer information.
There are multuiple DC backends that use it, and they all just use it
for random binary data. And that's just useless shit, pardon my
French.
