Don't give sensation that OSTCTools is a H&W software, which it isn't.
Little adds on supported DCs and other considerations.

 _OSTC Tools_ is a Microsoft-based suite of dive download and dive management tools for the OSTC
 family of dive computers. _OSTC Tools_ downloads dive data from the dive computer and stores it
 as a binary file with file extension _.dive_ . Subsurface can directly import these files when using

+Actually, every H&W device supported by OSTCTools can be imported to _Subsurface_, this includes

+OSTC CR.

+Please, remember that OSTCTools is *not* a true diving log software, but a useful set of tools
+for analysis and management of OSTC devices. This way, only raw dive computer data will be

+data which may be of some importance for him (buddies, equipment, notes, etc).
