In June 2000 Hannes Keller still holds the world record in sports diving
with tanks and mixed gas but without a diving bell. During this special
dive in summer 1961 he achieved a depth of 722 feet, as reported
in Life Magazine, Argosy, Paris Match etc. Hannes Keller received international
awards, by the Undersea medical society, Oceaneering, Boston Sea Rovers,
Argosy's Giant of Adventure Award to name just a few.
Keller constructed pressure chambers for Navy's, hospitals etc. and specialised
in deep diving systems for saturation diving to 1000 feet depth (Client
consortium: Deutsche HANSA, OSA, VTG and PREUSSAG).
As
a by-product to streamlined professional diving suits, Hannes Keller also
developed sports suits for professionals, especially in ski racing. Very

As
opposed to WORD, Hannes Keller has a technology, where the spell corrector
does not have to learn single mistakes, but corrects all common mistakes
entirely automatically using a unique proximity procedure. For Win 9x,
the German version of the "Wizard maker" is available on the market at

and macro-recordings within all active programs. In short, it simulates
an automated user.
