This is wonderful Matt, thank you so very much!! I will study this and try implementing this weekend.
FWIW, I followed the procedure as outlined in the section entitled "*Installation Guide For New Users of XTide*" that I wrote when I created XTide v2.15.2 Help (b20190309) <https://flaterco.com/files/xtide/XTide%20v2.15.2%20Help%20b20190309.chm>. Although it was written with Ubuntu in play, installation on the RPi was nearly identical.
