DID YOU KNOW?... That the registered version of MERLIN (1.4i), now has nearly
100 tracking locations included in the menu, and that many of these are based
on the "official" locations normally used by the National Hurricane Center for
watch/warning and landfall possibility. By registering, you also have YOUR
city added to MERLIN's "What if..." menu BEFORE shipping (if we can locate its
coordinates - we've found every user's coordinates so far!):

NEW! - Printed Manual included with registration (5-1/2" x 8-1/2")
NEW! - MERLIN provides tracking information on-screen while plotting the
storm information on the tracking chart.
NEW! - Five degrees longitude added to tracking map (ie. more Atlantic Ocean)
NEW! - USA coastline totally re-drawn with added detail. Puerto Rico, Jamaica
and other details have been added to the tracking chart.
NEW! - "Review mode" this new feature allows the viewing of previous MERLIN
Advisories of storm readings by simply pressing the PgUp/PgDn key.
NEW! - All three output nodes of the neural network are shown in the MERLIN
ADVISORY indicating possible direction of storm intensity.
Tropical Storm/Hurricane data can be received with hourly updates from weather
radios sold at any Radio Shack. Although the updates are hourly, hurricane
information changes typically two times per day, with more frequent updates
if the U.S. coast is threatened. I've found these reports to be the best
source for MERLIN data, and general information on the storm, as perceived by
the National Weather Service.
At this point, I again want to caution you - No person or computer program,
not even MERLIN, can predict the future. ALWAYS pay close attention to the
progress of an approaching storm, and heed the warnings of local authorities
in your area. If they say to evacuate, DO IT! The Twelve Hour Projection is
the most recent trend of the storm extended 12 hours into the future. There
is NO guarantee that the most recent trend will continue.
Atlantic storm names for the 1992 season are: Andrew, Bonnie, Charley,
Danielle, Earl, Frances, Georges, Hermine, Ivan, Jeanne, Karl, Lisa, Mitch,
Nicole, Otto, Paula, Richard, Shary, Tomas, Virginie and Walter.
MERLIN can be registered by credit card by calling 1-800-242-4PsL. See the
ORDER.FRM file for information on how easily you can become a registered user
of MERLIN.
