    1. XTide is Copyright (C) 1998 by David Flater, comes with absolutely
       no  warranty,  and  is  provided  under  the  GNU  General  Public
       License.   See  the  verbose documentation for all of the relevant
       disclaimers.
    2. XTide requires:
          + [4]libXpm 3.4 or newer compatible version
          + [5]libpng version 0.96 or newer compatible version
          + [6]zlib  (a.k.a.  libz)  version  1.0.4  or  newer compatible
            version
          + [7]libtcd version 2.2 or newer compatible version
    3. You   must   download   at   least   one   harmonics   file.   See
       [8]http://www.flaterco.com/xtide/files.html#harmonicsfiles     for
       details on where to get these.
    4. You  must  set the environment variable HFILE_PATH to point to the
       harmonics files that you downloaded.  Example:

export HFILE_PATH=/usr/local/share/xtide/harmonics.tcd

    5. ./configure; make
    6. You should now have three binaries:
          + xtide, the interactive X-windows client
          + tide, the non-interactive TTY client
          + xttpd, the web server
    7. The X-windows client is easy to use.  Go for it.
    8. tide does a few things that xtide doesn't do.  Run it with nothing
       on the command line and read the usage info.
    9. xttpd  is  a  self-contained  web server.  su root, fire it up and
       browse  away.   If  it doesn't run, check your logs for errors and
       see     [9]http://www.flaterco.com/xtide/installation.html     for
       configuration help.
