IMPORTANT for Win95 users. This MIGHT apply to you - probably not,
but in any case it ensures smooth running of the program.

Subject: SWSW "TIDES" v2.24, video Win95

TECH NOTE T11-97 (Video failure Win95, including Networking)

Program: TIDES version 2.24
Problem: possible system crash accessing monthly data page under Win95
Cause: Windows 95 erratic screen paging with certain video boards

WORKAROUND:

1 - Make a shortcut to TIDES.BAT (Right Click TIDES.BAT in Explorer,
then "Create shortcut")

2 - Open the Properties to the shortcut (Right Click the Shortcut, then
click "Properties"), and use "Apply"/"OK" for the following:
	a) Program:
		Run Maximized
		Check Close on Exit
		In Advanced:
			Prevent MSDos detecting Windows
			Suggest MSDos mode as necessary
	b) Memory:
		Set all boxes to Auto
		Check HMA
	c) Screen:
		Set to "Full Screen" and Initial Size to "25 lines"
		All else unchecked
	d) Misc:
		All unchecked/Off except "Warn if still active"
			
	The above has been tested successfully under Win95/Microsoft Client LAN
conditions using a video adapter that had been previously known to crash
the software.

END TECH NOTE T11-97
