- |Me too, please! Also, if anybody has a script getting the weather
- |by ftp, and popping it up on the screen, please mail it to me.

-
- Here's a revised version of the script I originally posted ...
- the usage is:
-
- weather [options]
-
- where options are
-
- -usa : Paints root window to current weather map of USA
-
- -europe : Uses current map of europe
- [Note that this site queries for a password, just
- hitting return should be ok]
-
- -query : Does a dir on the current USA weather map file
- [I put this in because sometimes it doesn't get updated
- until about noon and the night versions are too dark.]
-
- -getUSA : Downloads and stores current USA map in /usr/tmp/UsaWeatherMapFile.GIF
-
- -paintUSA : Pastes /usr/tmp/UsaWeatherMapFile.GIF to root window
-
-
- Thanks to mmcohen@cats.ucsc.edu for posting the European site for data.
-
- Cheers,
- Fred Phelan
