Weather Radar Plotting Program [ WXRAD ] - Ver. 1.0
By: Phil Baughn - October 1987
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Standard form 'raw' radar data obtained from most services around the
country is in the format of RAWWX.DAT.
xxxyyyz - xxx=lat*10
yyy=(lon-50)*10
z=intensity
Before using this program with NEW data, you must use the DEL-LF.COM
utility to remove all linefeeds from the raw data file, also be sure
that the file contains ONLY data lines, delete all others.
RAWWX.DAT has already been converted into a demo file in this package
named RADAR.DAT.
The program reads the data in RADAR.DAT and plots the results on EGA
monitors (source is included to convert to CGA if necessary).
The program source code should spell out all conversions and functions
quite easily including an explanation of the 2 additional .DAT files
which the program creates.
4 zoom levels occur when a key is depressed and the program ends back
at the full view screen, after which any key ends the program.
Enjoy, Phil Baughn
