I thought it looked interesting and I'm always looking for new, interesting TCP/IP applications to program. WeatherExperience, like WinWeather, uses some servers in the US that get their data from the National Weather Service. WeatherExperience downloads weatherdata for the cities you tell it to, and displays it in a listview. Please give me your comments about the program, the future of any of my programs depends very much on the amount of feedback I get from the users! Features ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ · Can monitor weatherdata for 558 cities in the US, 44 cities in Canada and 93 cities outside the US/Canada. · Shows data like temperature, wind, conditions, forecasts and many others. · Can convert measurements to various units like Celcius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, meter/second, miles per hour and knots. · Almost 100% asynchronous network operation (you can use the GUI while the program is fetching weatherdata, and you can abort at almost any time). · Updates weatherdata display after a user-configurable delay. · Manipulate data with Copy to clipboard/Print/Save to disk funtions. Requirements ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ · AmigaOS 2.04 or higher · MUI 3.3 or higher · A TCP/IP stack (like AmiTCP, Miami, As225, Inet225 or mlink) Version history ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ WeatherExperience 1.5 (3.8.97) · All South Carolina cities were listed twice. (Spotted by June Nilsen, while being forced to try my program :) · "British Colombia" -> "British Columbia" (Reported by Gary Gagnon) · Fixed the fact that no euro data seemed to be available (Reported by Troy D. Davis and a million others later) · Removed the silly error requester when cancelling a filerequester. · Added a workaround for a bug in RTPatch 38.298 that caused the error requester to appear anyway. · Now uses the fixed font (configured in MUI prefs) in the forecast window. (Suggested by Troy D. Davis and Eirik Synnes) · Three new ARexx commands: REFRESH, ABORT and GETDATA (see AmigaGuide for usage information). · New menu called "ARexx". It contains one item that lets you execute an ARexx script chosen from a filerequester, and below that you will a menuitem for all files matching the pattern "#?.wxp" in PROGDIR:ARexx. Selecting one of those items will launch the corresponding ARexx script. (Idea ripped off AmIRC *without* the author's permission ;) · Moved Auckland and Sydney into a region of their own, Australia. They were previously put under the Asia region because I thought it was silly to have a region with two members, but I was convinced otherwise by Troy D. Davis. :) · Pressing the Help key on your keyboard will now open the AmigaGuide to the section describing the active WE window. · The ARexx portname is now listed in the aboutwindow. · Horizontal scrollbar in mainwindow finally realized. :) This is done using Gilles Massons NList.mcc. · Changed "Marthas Vinyard" -> "Martha's Vineyard" misspelling in a Massachusetts town. (not my error :) (Reported by Philippe REUX) · Corrected another misspelling: "Tunesia" -> "Tunisia". (Reported by Giovanni Calderone)
