to make the user manual even more comprehensive.

The VPM-B model assumes off-gassing only happens during ascent
which for us are that part of the dive where dp->entered is
false. This is wrong for dives with manually entered waypoints
in the ascent, as discussed in
See #601.

[Dirk Hohndel:]
I was able to manually merge that branch but it created a complete mess
out of the tree and brought several dozen commits in a second time, so
I gave up and instead created this single commit.

See also commit acb38c9e00. pSCR is with respect to cylinder planning very
similar to OC planning. Obviously, the SAC is much (max. 8x for counterlung
ration 1:10) lower, but multiple gasses are common (in all but recreational
pSCR diving).
Changed the wording to reflect this.

from the planner section the follwing paragraph is weird and partially incorrect:
These changes should reflect the cylinders and gas compositions defined in the table
with _Available Gases_. If two or more gases are used, automatic gas switches will be
suggested during the ascent to the surface. These changes can be deleted by
right-clicking the gas change and manually creating a gas change by right-clicking
on the appropriate waypoint.
Yes: during the ascent, gas switches are automatically planned (not suggested). These
can't be deleted by right-clicking (as there are no real waypoints associated with
the gas switches). And futher. To delete a gas change you have to manually create one?
Solution: refrase paragraph.

The manual suggests that in the Available Gases dialog of the planner, setting of
pO2 is possible. This is not the case, and changed the text accordingly.

The removed paragraph is not really correct. You do not have to select a trip
to access trip manipulation context menu items, and the behaviour of +/- buttons
is so well known and commonplace that the paragraph before is more than enhough
to explain this trivial feature.
Solution: remove paragraph

This one little sentence confuses me: TTS is calculated assuming an ascent
surface air consumption (SAC) for the gas currently used.
Time to surface is a decompression + ascent time calculation only. Obviously, the diver
should plan to have suffient gas for this, but TTS is not a function of SAC. There is
the "remaining air time, RAT) some dive computers can calculate which uses TTS in
combination with SAC to assist the diver to start his ascent, but RAT != TTS.
Solution: remove the confusing sentence.

The info box for the dive profile is said to change to minimal when the
mouse pointer is outside the profile window. Testing this in 4.6.3 shows
that this is not the case. The info box does not change on window leave
of the pointer.
It might have worked that way before, but it is no big deal, so better to
change the manual to reflect the current working.

Generalize the wording. pSCRs are typically configured with a swichblock,
allowing insertion a any gas in the unit, equivalently with a gas change
on open circuit.

The fact that a pSCR is typically driven using nitrox is just flat wrong. A
pSCR can be considered as universal gas extender for any depth, so any driving gas.
