- [ weather scripts ]

- The ultimate in getting weather forecasts is xweather/xforecast (I never
- could remember what Frank Adelstein (the originator of the perl weather
- script) called the stupid thing). A couple of us back at Ohio State
- dreamed up the idea from that script, and Frank implemented it. Essentially,
- it brings up a map of the US, and allows you to fetch the weather report
- of the area that you click on.

- The latest copy should be available on ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu, in
- pub/X-contrib. I believe it requires Perl. There's almost certainly a
- copy on export.lcs.mit.edu. Send me mail if you need more explicit
- directions.
