xtide is a program which predicts and displays tides. It is capable of producing output in a variety of dynamic and static formats, and has extensions for X, plain ASCII, and HTML. You may need to replace the harmonics file used by this port by one better suited to your area; there are a number of harmonics files available at http://www.universe.digex.net/~dave/files/. You will also have to specify your location either by setting the LOCATION environment variable, by using the -location script, or by creating an appropriate ~/.xtiderc. http://www.universe.digex.net/~dave/xtide/xtide.html has complete documentation, or just read the man page. - Brion Moss brion@queeg.com
