cTide 1.1

cTide is graphical tide prediction software for PocketPCs and Palm-sized PCs.
cTide provides tide and current predictions for about 5,900 locations around the world. Data can be displayed in a few different graphical views. Predictions can be performed on any date between 1970 and 2038.
This program uses the harmonic method to display tide levels either as a tide clock (showing the current level) or as a graph. All of the data and constants are read in from the harmonics file.
This program is postcard-request free software. Source code is included. If you like the software, please send me a postcard. The address is listed in the program under Help About cTide.
