- 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:
