Introduction
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
WeatherExperience was written after I saw WinWeather on a PC. I thought it
looked interesting and I'm always looking for new, interesting TCP/IP
applications to program. WeatherExperience, like WinWeather, uses some
servers in the US that get their data from the National Weather Service.
WeatherExperience downloads weatherdata for the cities you tell it to, and
displays it in a listview.
Please give me your comments about the program, the future of any of my
programs depends very much on the amount of feedback I get from the users!
Features
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
· Can monitor weatherdata for 558 cities in the US and 93 non-US cities.
· Can convert measurements to various units like Celcius, Fahrenheit,
Kelvin, meter/second, miles per hour and knots.
· Almost 100% asynchronous network operation (you can use the GUI while the
program is fetching weatherdata, and you can abort at almost any time).
· Updates weatherdata display after a user-configurable delay.
Requirements
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
· AmigaOS 2.04 or higher
· MUI 3.3 or higher
· A TCP/IP stack (like AmiTCP, Miami, As225, Inet225 or mlink)
Version history
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
WeatherExperience 1.0 (20.7.96)
· First release to AmiNet.
WeatherExperience 1.1 (21.7.96)
· Of course, the good boys at the National Weather Service just had to
change the format of the data the day I released WeatherExperience.
That broke the parsing of weatherdata for all non-US cities.
· The weather boys also changed the spelling of a few cities:
"Capetown" -> "Cape town"
"Ho Chi Minh Ct" -> "Ho Chi Minh Cty"
"Nagano" -> "Ngano" (?!)
"St.Petersburg" -> "St. Petersburgh"
· Information for Shanghai, China now available
WeatherExperience 1.2 (23.7.96)
· Guess what... They changed the format of the data back.. Aaaargh.
That means all changes done from 1.0->1.1 has been reversed for 1.2. :(
· The main listview with the weatherdata now jumps to display the last
inserted city if the scrollbar is at the bottom.
