Import Datatrak/WLog files
Sequentially parses a file, expected to be a Datatrak/WLog divelog, and converts the dive info into Subsurface's dive structure. As my first DC, back in 90s, was an Aladin Air X, the obvious choice of log software was DTrak (Win version). After using it for some time we moved to WLog (shareware software more user friendly than Dtrak, printing capable, and still better, it runs under wine, which, as linux user, was definitive for me). Then, some years later, my last Aladin died and I moved to an OSTC, forcing me to look for a software that support this DC. I found JDivelog which was capable of import Dtrak logs and used it for some time until discovered Subsurface existence and devoted to it. The fact was that importing Dtrak dives in JDivelog and then re-importing them in Subsurface caused a significant data loss (mainly in the profile events and alarms) and weird location of some other info in the dive notes (mostly tag items in the original Dtrak software). This situation can't actually be solved with tools like divelogs.de which causes similar if no greater data loss. Although this won't be a core feature for Subsurface, I expect it can be useful for some other divers as has been for me. Comments and issues: Datatrak/Wlog files include a lot of diving data which are not directly supported in Subsurface, in these cases we choose mostly to use "tags". The lack of some important info in Datatrak archives (e.g. tank's initial pressure) forces us to do some arbitrary assumptions (e.g. initial pressure = 200 bar). There might be archives coming directly from old DOS days, as first versions of Datatrak run on that OS; they were coded CP437 or CP850, while dive logs coming from Win versions seems to be coded CP1252. Finally, Wlog seems to use a mixed confusing style. Program directly converts some of the old encoded chars to iso8859 but is expected there be some issues with non alphabetic chars, e.g. "ª". There are two text fields: "Other activities" and "Dive notes", both limited to 256 char size. We have merged them in Subsurface's "Dive Notes" although the first one could be "tagged", but we're unsure that the user had filled it in a tag friendly way. WLog adds some information to the dive and lets the user to write more than 256 chars notes. This is achieved, while keeping compatibility with DTrak divelogs, by adding a complementary file named equally as the .log file and with .add extension where all this info is stored. We have, still, not worked with this complementary files. This work is based on the paper referenced in butracker #194 which has some errors (e.g. beginning of log and beginning of dive are changed) and a lot of bytes of unknown meaning. Example.log shows, at least, one more byte than those referred in the paper for the O2 Aladin computer, this could be a byte referred to the use of SCR but the lack of an OC dive with O2 computer makes impossible for us to compare. The only way we have figured out to distinguish a priori between SCR and non SCR dives with O2 computers is that the dives are tagged with a "rebreather" tag. Obviously this is not a very trusty way of doing things. In SCR dives, the O2% in mix means, probably, the maximum O2% in the circuit, not the O2% of the EAN mix in the tanks, which would be unknown in this case. The list of DCs related in bug #194 paper seems incomplete, we have added one or two from WLog and discarded those which are known to exist but whose model is unknown, grouping them under the imaginative name of "unknown". The list can easily be increased in the future if we ever know the models identifiers. BTW, in Example.log, 0x00 identifier is used for some DC dives and from my own divelogs is inferred that 0x00 is used for manually entered dives, this could easily be an error in Example.log coming from a preproduction DC model. Example.log which is shipped in datatrak package is included in dives directory for testing pourposes.
