Oh yeah, I meant to reply to this yesterday...
The floor had a significant dip in the center, of 1/8" or more. In the
basement the central 6x6 that runs down the spine of the house was
"supported" by a 3" or so cedar post that had split at the top and had
lost some of its height. Off to one side where the dip was worst was a 2x3
spruce post with a significant bow in it.
My father in-law had bought a steel post years ago but had never installed
it. I brought my 12 ton bottle jack and a 4x4, centered the jack under the
6x6 near the cedar post and lifted about 1/2". I took out the cedar post
and replaced with the steel post ending up about 1/4" taller than the
cedar post had been. Then I moved to the other side of the basement on
that same 6x6, lifted 1/4" and put in another steel post. Finally I
repositioned near the 2x3, lifted to get that out and put in another steel
post.
The floor now bows about 1/32". I might put some leveler on it before we
lay the tile but I doubt it, the dip is gentle enough I don't think it
will hurt vinyl tiles.

Home Depot, self-leveling concrete?
Actually, self-leveling underlayment, something the fellow who installed
tile in our house in Los Alamos used.
