<tr><td colspan="2">When you need to know the weather there's never a forecast on TV. This is a fact of life. However, with Forecast you can download an satelite image to see what you think the weather will be. You can even add your own weather symbols. This latest version of Forecast can download multiple images simultaneously, uses a 'hotlist' system and can refresh the images after a period.<br></td></tr>

<tr><td colspan="2">Proxying is a fun thing to set up. Usually it means messing around with many different programs so that you get the right proxies loaded. JFProxy is slightly different. It is generic. You can proxy almost anything if you can write the code for it.
Supplied are proxies for Finger, HTTP, IRC, POP3, SMTP and SOCKS as well as a standard prompting proxy and a generic raw proxy.<br></td></tr>

<tr><td colspan="2">Messenger Pro represents a major step forward in RISC OS email support. At last, one application offers all aspects of news and mail reading, complete with the Good Net-Keeping Seal of Approval. This makes Messenger Pro a truly "industry standard" email/news solution, which properly adheres to Internet protocols whilst making sure that new users produce email which conforms to proper (n)etiquette. The application has particular support for the ANT Suite, Voyager (Argonet) and Termite, but will work fine with Freenet, and the standard RISC OS internet stack with all the popular mail and news transports.<br></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2">PPP is a network protocol that allows two computers to exchange IP packets over serial lines. It is used by most Internet providers to allow remote computers to connect to Internet via a modem dialup. PPP offers some advantages over SLIP (another packet transmission protocol used by dialup services) especially because of its automatic negotiation of IP addresses, connection parameters and authentication.<br></td></tr>

<tr><td colspan="2">If you use your machine with a number of interfaces and have applications that read particular system variables to discover your address then you will have found that they are unreliable. This can also be the case with a single interface if you connect and subsequently disconnect a larger network.
SetInetVars ensures that pretty much all the internet variables are valid at the time it is run.<br></td></tr>
