Hah! Rather insecure these days, and you cant BLE download with it. But, if nothing else, it makes it easier to import old divelogs from other Win7-based software into Subsurface. ... > > - There's no User manual menu item in my build.

I went off and had lunch. But yes, not really a problem for typical usage on or after a dive trip. I also tested if downloads still work from my beloved Aladin Pro dive computer. They do still work.
