I have now tried the program. It works. If you try and get it, I suggest
getting all of the files rather than trying to figure out which ones to
get. It would be nice if it was all zipped together but it is not. I
had to unzip the zip files that were there. Once you get the program
running, use the "change station" option to get GG Bridge tide numbers
by giving the file name "snfrisco.tid" and current data by giving
the file name "snfrisco.cur". The program is slow on my 33 MHz 386/387
machine. It takes about 2 minutes (I did not time it) to generate
one weeks worth of data. The tides.doc file is very good and probably
worth the $15.00 just for the information it provides.
