Is this a case where many hours of developer effort will be dumped into supporting an old obsolete group of dive computers? Maybe the current version of Subsurface can remain available for users of the IRDA computers and new versions will drop this feature? I'm just not sure how many users have IRDA computers and it seems like developer time is better spent on supporting the up-and-coming computers which will be BT or BLE. ...Hartley
