I have an old Tides and Currents Pro which came from Nautical software on
two 3.5" floppies. It is old, I am old, and I love it.

Something happened to the data disk a while back when putting it on
another computer I had, but I found the data files and made a new disk.
Unfortunately (and unusually, I think) there were hidden files on that
disk or something and the copy isn't working. I had a wipe and reinstall
of my main laptop computer which I now use for home *and* boat so if I
can't get it working on that I am highly inconvenienced.

Has anyone an old copy to sell or lend?


You might want to try giving them a call. If you explain the situation, they
might be able to get you a copy of the old version.

Thank you. Unfortunately "them" (Nautical Software) are gone. Nobeltec acquired them some time ago
and incorporated their algorithms into their navigation program. They do (now) produce what appears
at first sight to be a stand-alone copy. With further examination, however, it looks to me as
though there is a lot of clutter and things I don't want.

However, in the event I can't have my old familiar program back I will go have a look.

In my original posting I should have included a request for the attention of someone who has this
installed and who with whom I could correspond to ask for looking up in the system for the drivers I
think are what work, but I don't seem to know where to put them.

Thank you.
