Bearboat Classic runs exclusively on the PC. Bearboat Classic was formerly known simply as Bearboat. The name, Bearboat Classic, was adapted simply to differentiate the program from BearboatPro. 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.
Bearboat Classic is no longer being upgraded. This program has been replaced by BearboatPro and more recently by BearboatSP. The program is probably available for download here for those who, for some reason known only to themselves, might want to get a copy.
I say probably because I have lost the most recent version of the file. For a long time, I had a Web site with what I thought was a link to the Bearboat Classic file. It was labeled 020518 (May 18, 2002). Apparently that file was not successfully uploaded to the web. And I cannot find that file in my own archives. I have an earlier file for which I have a link below. Since I no longer own a PC, I can no longer test this file. I would be curious about anyone's experience with it.
The program is provided as a zip file with all the necessary components to run this program on your computer.
Create an new folder. Give it any name that you care to. Place the zip file into this folder. Expand the contents of the zip file into this folder. Use the Setup program to install the program onto your computer.
Download Bearboat Classic for PC 2MBI have also included the lastest version of the Bearboat Classic Manual (000902 - Sep 2, 2000) that I can find.
Download Manual for Bearboat ClassicBearboat Pro is capable of opening Bearboat Classic files. Those who want to modify an old Bearboat Classic file or analyze an old Bearboat Classic design are urged to download Bearboat Pro for this purpose. It is a much richer design environment that Bearboat Classic.
Bearboat Pro can convert a Bearboat Classic file to a Bearboat Pro file with very little loss of information. It is then possible, in turn, to use BearboatSP to convert a Bearboat Pro file to a BearboatSP file which is the currently actively supported program. BearboatSP can not directly open a Bearboat Classic file.
