Abstract
It will be shown how analyses of tidal records of n2(14) hourly heigh ts, with n from 2 up to more than 10, can be quickly performed by usin g a PC. The method on which such analysis is based is the one develope d by FRANCO and HARARI (1988). If the analysis of a 102(14) hourly he ights span, very nearly equal to a nodal cycle, is worked out, then th e main constituents and the respective satellites, a total of 1014, ca n be separated in 6 minutes and 25 seconds if a PC 386 DX (40 megahert z), with coprocessor, is available.
