Hi Dirk.

When thinking in english I not always say what I meat to. In this case I meant 
that, OSTC  *always* download every dive, *but* subsurface filter them very 
well, with or without a previous software update.

I keep track of the updates including the fw version in the dc alias and I'm 
pretty sure we don't have actually that problem with OSTC.  In the past it 
used to happen, but I think it was corrected with 4.x.

This said, have just seen there is a new 3.0 fw version for the OSTC and I 
expect to dive tomorrow, so this is a good moment to test Anton's work and the 
downloading after the upgrade.

I'll report tomorrow afternoon (Europe time).

Regards.

Salva.
