Ed Wallner, the author and maintainer of TIDES4 and associated
software, passed away on 2002-11-01 after a long illness.

His son, Mark Wallner, turned over the software saying "do as you
wish."  I have sorted through everything and distilled it down to the
collection that you see here, which I believe to be the final and most
complete versions of everything.  Which means that we don't have the
sources for some of it.  Sorry.

As the documentation shows, this software began as shareware.  Now it
is a published work.  You are welcome to make use of it without fee,
but please give due credit to Ed Wallner when you do.

I have refrained from posting the data files since the copyright
status of some of them might still be called into question and all of
them are old.  If you need specific files, email dave@flaterco.com.
