XTIDE QUICK INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

   0.  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.

   1.  XTide requires:
          * libXpm version 4.3 or later (a.k.a. xpm-3.4, go figure)
          * libpng version 0.96 or later
          * libz version 1.0.4 or later (a.k.a. zlib-1.0.4)

   2.  You must download at least one harmonics file.  See
   http://www.flaterco.com/xtide/files.html for details on where to
   get these.

   3.  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

   4.  ./configure; make

   5.  You should now have three binaries:
           xtide   the interactive X-windows client
           tide    the non-interactive TTY client
           xttpd   the web server

   6.  The X-windows client is easy to use.  Go for it.

   7.  tide does a few things that xtide doesn't do.  Run it with
   nothing on the command line and read the usage info.

   8.  xttpd is a self-contained web server.  Fire it up and browse
   away.  If you don't have root or if you already have a web server
   running, provide a port number (e.g., 8080) on the command line
   when you start it, and find it at http://your.site.net:8080/
   instead of http://your.site.net/.  Set the environment variable
   XTTPD_FEEDBACK to change the feedback address.  (You can also
   change the compiled-in default in config.hh.)
