Tide files
As explained in Tides on page 3.21, Deckman sometimes has to choose
between SHOM tidal information and its own database. However, if you

please follow the instructions below.
As we saw, the SHOM tidal information is contained in a number of
files with the prefix SHOM which are in the data directory. To ensure
