Is this Dave Flaters program or yours? WXTide32 is a windows port of Dave Flaters UNIX program XTide version 1.6.2.
Whereas Dave has spent years making XTide work the way he wanted, I only have a few thousand hours into WXTide32 (groan :). My most satisfying contribution has been the station location logic with the clickable and zooming station locator map. That is in addition to all of the work needed to convert the base version of XTide to run under Windows 9x/NT. I took on this project because my wife and I are sailing cruisers and I didn’t want to pay $1000 for worldwide tidal data for the Windows tide programs that are available now. While the DOS tide program we used while cruising (the excellent Tides 2.4 by Hans Pieper) worked fine, I wanted a more visual and hopefully more friendly interface, not to mention an extremely attractive price.
