Does anyone know of a shareware or affordably priced commercial software for trimix blending? Specifically, a program that allows you to plug in your present (partially full) mix plus your target mix, and it'll give you the gas to add to get there?
I found a UK shareware that looks good http://website.lineone.net/~britannic98/team/gasmix.htm but it's all in metric and making the translation is just one more variable I can do without. Any tips would be most appreciated!

I use Voyager. it does just what you are looking for.
I believe that it is sold by Dive Rite now...I am not sure, I got it from the developer. If they don't sell it let me know and i can get you in touch with the developer of the software

It can be downloaded if you want, or run directly off the site.
Requires Excel.

I downloaded a trial version of Mix Master, which is now part of the Voyager dive planning & mixing package instead of a stand-alone program. I've spent about 30 minutes with it so far, playing "what-if" with mixes and it seems to do a great job there.
The dive profile input screen seems a little funky: It lets me input values for waypoints but the down arrow that is supposed to enter the waypoint on the array doesn't do anything. Basically, you can key in D/T/O2/He all you want, but you can never get past the waypoint screen to graph a dive. I'm sure it's me and not the program, but if anybody has a quick fix for what I'm doing wrong (?) I'd appreciate hearing it.
