"Worldwide - Permanent

        Fed up with spending a fortune on Tide Tables? Need the tides
for your landfall? Ever tried buying tables for Canada or the U.S.
when you're in the Caribbean getting ready to sail North? Ever
wondered why there isn't one set of tables for the whole of the
English Channel or the whole of the Eastern American seaboard?

        Here's some tidal prediction software that covers the world
and is valid forever!"

        If you don't have a computer on board, print out the Tables
in your home or office before you go sailing!
