Bearboat Classic
Bearboat Classic ran exclusively on the PC. It was formerly known simply as Bearboat. The name Bearboat Classic was adopted simply to differentiate the program from BearboatPro, which succeeded it. The earliest predecessors of this program were written in 1980. In 1998 it was converted to run on Windows NT and was placed on-line at that time.
Bearboat Classic is no longer available or viable.
Bearboat Pro
Bearboat Classic was replaced by BearboatPro in about 2002. This was the first version of Bearboat that had a Mac version. BearboatPro is obsolete and will not run on current hardware.
BearboatSP
BearboatSP replaced Bearboat Pro in 2007. I have a version of this application that I struggle to run on my Mac. I use it only to help me bring across features of that version to the current application BearboatXL. It is basically not viable. This was the last of the Bearboat applications that could run on PCs. BearboatXL is exclusively for Mac computers.
BearboatXL
BearboatXL is being actively developed. Alpha versions are available on the main site.
