~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DragonSoft ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WeatherBase was written as a learning expereance. It is written in Quick-C
Version 2.5, a compiler I highly recommend for the price. This Program
REQUIRES CGA or better graphics.
It will store one months data at a time. This can be called anything you
want, but I recommend calling it the name of the month. :^}
Most functions are self explanitory. Just run the program and go to the
DataBase. The first time you run it just enter data. Follow the
prompts. When you get done entering data, SAVE IT !! it will ask for a
name, it saves to the current directory. (loads from it too) The average
option will not be of much use till you get a few days info entered.
The Generalized Forcasting Routines are from a old Basic program I
found and have been modified enough I call them my own now. The Local
forcasting routines are from Pocket Trends (registered) and are
only accurate for the area listed. To get a version for your area you
must send me a blank disk and $20.00. This will Register you and get you
the latest version with your name and registration # and remove the time
delay at the opening of the program! See the registration menu from within
the program for more details.
For those that live by Canada I have a metric conversions for most
things that are related to Weather. Also in that menu are Dew Point,
Wind chill, Temp/humidity Index generating functions.
When there is No WIND set wind direction to West...
You can use the text file for printing out work sheets to keep a hard
copy or just to gather the data to enter into the computer.Also as this
is a DOS program the print screen key will work for hard copies of monthly
generated info.
This program is SHAREWARE. If you use it PLEASE SEND me $20.00 or what
you think it is worth.
I will keep a record of you and send notices of updates and
other programs that DragonSoft puts out. Send $$ and or BUG reports to:

Program Highlights:
All Data loads into memory for speedy searches. (3 types available)
2 different forcasting routines. (for registered users)
Metric to English Conversions
Extensive monthly reports.
Graphs for High,Low,Rain,Snow and Humidity.
Written in "C" so it is Very Fast!
History:
Version 4.0
Direct port of amiga version. All version before this were for the Amiga.
They were written with Lattice/SAS.
Version 4.5- 5.5
Added more routines for dew point, humidity/heat, wind chill
fixed bugs in the forcasting routines.
Version 6.0
Completly re - wrote the forcasting routines! Got tired of the
differences in the compilers. (The original routines were written for
Lattice.)
Version 6.5
This version addes a few goodies to the monthly report, dates for most
rain, highs,lows, for temperature and barometer. Also you can not stop
a listing of all the days from the search routine!
Version 7.0
You can now edit any field and not have to enter all data over when you
want to change something! The only trouble area is when editing a string..
it will take you back to the database menu without showing the change.
Sorry for this, I'm working on it!
Also Added a Requestor for the Delete Last Entry choice, and Lots of COLOR!
And a screen saver that only works during the running of Weather
base. It REQUIRES VGA.
Version 8.0
ALL OLD DATA FILES WILL NOT WORK...ADDED SNOWFALL TO DATA FILE.
Added the old forcasting routines also.I have been re-working them. They
work now. Added a snowfall tracker to the database, this made all
previous data files obsolite. They will not work at all. Also Changed
the menu structure from 2 menus to 5 for looks. Also A BIGGIE I added
CHARTS! Yes you can now visually see the high,low,rain,snow,humidity in
chart form!
The program has GROWN over the last 3 years! Please Support it! (me) ;^}
Version WIN8.0
This will be a full blown window app when released...
