News
February 2007: Released version 4.7 to implement new U.S. timezones
and a couple bug fixes
(see change list).
July 2006: It has come to our attention that there is at least one person
selling WXTide32 on eBay. Selling WXTide32 is in direct violation of the GNU
license under which the software is released and I have notified eBay of the
violation.
June 2006: Release version 4.6 adds mostly bug fixes.
May 2006:We have added the ability to download files directly from
this web site. See the
download page.
May 2006:We are on our new web host and busy making sure most of the
sites are still working. AffordableHost, our previous (and never again)
provider, just could not keep the server they put us on going for more than a
few hours at a time. Not only were we unable to send email for the past 3
weeks, but the web sites were up and down like the tides. Being able to
respond to email will be a relief. We thank you for your patience.
Errata and reported anomalies
The reference station Norwegian Bay, W. Coast, Australia has been
found to be totally inaccurate. To get correct tides for that location
generate a User Station with Carnarvon, Australia as the reference station
and use time offsets of -8 minutes to both the low and high tide times.
