> Roger and I have been arguing about earthquake forecasting for more years than I can remember. But at the same time we have gotten some valuable computer software developed. My own forecasting program relies heavily on it.

Sure. I don't have to agree with you to contribute.

> Unless you are planning to return as a tree or a cow you are going to have just one life. So, why not attempt to do something productive with whatever remains in it rather than just argue.

I'm not arguing, I'm testing. If you fail, that's your problem.

> That Etgtab.exe - ocean tide project would be valuable. And it could be even be converted into a publication.

Doubtful.

> 1. Determine that the etgtab.exe program and Web site ocean tide data agree for various locations and times.

Necessary if you insist on using it.

> 2. Work with the Fortran Newsgroup and perhaps Basic Newsgroup people to get a TrueBasic version of the etgtab.exe program developed and running.

Why?

> 3. Prepare and submit a publication regarding the effort to some journal.

Why would a journal be interested in a TB version of an old program when there are any number of government programs providing the service already?
