 This program has the location information hard coded into it for the
 Detroit River, Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair.  For any other location
 the times would be incorrect.  I did this to keep it to a single dos
 exe and avoid requiring the user to create and track data files.  For
 any other location it would be useless however.

 That sounds like a neat project, once the code was done all you would
 need do is change data bases for the lakes involved.  Around here we
 have lots of that type info available in charts from the Corps of
 Engineers.
 I also program only in C, but had to retire four years ago to take
 care of my mother and don't have the time for more complex programming
 projects today, or for that matter computing in general.
