Hmmm.  There was a little more work to do involving some recent changes
like
divemode.   But I can't take a look until tomorrow evening.

Thanks, and thanks to Lubomir who has already corrected  a big bunch of my
bad practices and coding style.

I think the files may be very common (as common as spreaded are
Uwatec/Scubapro devices).  SmartTrak is the propietary software for all
devices series from Smart to Galileo.  Only LogTrak is a newer software
developed for Meridian devices (not sure about this) that seems to support
Galileo devices too.

Best regards.
