XTide
Neil Waldhauer:
The XTide program shows the tide table for a particular location. It worked for years, but stopped a couple of weeks ago when the harmonics fiie expired.

It's still under development here:
https://flaterco.com/xtide/files.html
But there is no longer any OS/2 version.
Although it is an X program, there is also a command line version, tide.exe, which was more useful for OS/2.
Is there any hope for building the current release; at least the command line version?
Dave Yeo:
Martin, can you split Neil's xtide comment into a separate thread?
Also perhaps create git archives of https://flaterco.com/files/xtide/libtcd-2.2.7-r3.tar.xz and https://flaterco.com/files/xtide/xtide-2.15.6.tar.xz
Dave Yeo:
Hi Neil, can you test tide.exe. Need https://flaterco.com/files/xtide/harmonics-dwf-20251228-free.tar.xz along with SET HFILE_PATH=location/of/harmonics-dwf-20251228-free.tcd adjusted to your install. Not sure of the expected dir separator in the SET statement. I'll include the man page.
Still working on the web server, stupid IPv6 stuff and how to handle daemon. Might try the xtide too.
Edit: The missing DLL
Martin Iturbide:
Hello Dave
I created this repo: https://github.com/OS2World/APP-SCIENCE-XTide
Let me know if you think that way is fine (the program and the library), otherwise, just delete the files and set it as you like it.
Also, a quick tutorial on how it works would be appreciated just to test it out.
Regards
Neil Waldhauer:
I unzipped the program files into a directory. I downloaded and extracted the harmonics file
https://flaterco.com/files/xtide/harmonics-dwf-20251228-free.tar.xz
I set and environment variable to the location of my harmonics file
--- Code: ---set hfile_path=\suntanv6\apps\xtide\dist\harmonics-dwf-20251228-free.tcd
--- End code ---
I ran the program, but I now get a message about time zone support.
--- Code: ---tide -l "Santa Cruz"
Indexing \suntanv6\apps\xtide\dist\harmonics-dwf-20251228-free.tcd...
XTide Fatal Error: BROKEN_ZONEINFO
Your platform appears to have broken time zone support. You need to have a
reasonably modern version of the time zone database that is available from
http://www.iana.org/time-zones.
