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.


Oh, I figured that about having it installed and I knew that Nobletec
aquired them. Sometimes the acquiring company has old versions sitting
around, and they might comp you one. It never hurts to ask. I always ask for
a supervisor.

You also might want to post the version you're looking for as a replacement.

Best of luck..
