BRAINEX WEATHER BRAIN
=====================
Now you can provide your users with local and state weather information,
updated hourly...
This is possible because the Federal Aviation Administration provides
an online information service (DUAT) system that provides information
to pilots (anyone may access this information). Weather Brain will
call this toll free number, receive the data, then create ANSI and
ASCII news files with your local and state weather.
GETTING STARTED
================
This program requires the installtion of the Brainex Door manager.
If you have not done so, please install BRAINEX.ZIP (available from
the Brainex System)
Check the included file STATION.TXT to determine your local
airport's 3 letter identification.
Example: LAX is Los Angeles International Airport.
Weather Brain supports two serivces:
Data Transformation DUAT
------------------------
Use 1-800-245-3828 to access this service. You may access the following
types of weather information.
1 - Local
2 - State
3 - Zone
4 - Recreational
You can include any combination of the above types in your news files.
GTE Contel DUAT
---------------
Use 1-800-767-9989 to access this service. Information will not have
as much detail as Data Transformation, and only a local news bulletin
will be created. With this service, the following options are valid.
1 - Local (Surface Observation)
2 - State (Terminal Forecast)
Run the included SETUP batch file to install Weather Brain.
MODEM SETUP
