(About the author)
 
     This is by far the best weather program out there.. Sounds conceited I know. Take a look at the features and you will see what I mean. This isn't one of those enter a zip code and get a few minor details about your weather, type programs - this gives you everything. This gives you a 10 day forecast, graphics to indicate conditions, current conditions, international city weather, US City weather, local US detailed forecast scroller, and weather radar maps for almost all regions of the world. I spent a long time on this. Apparently this program was good enough to spark a few comments from Weather.com telling me that they didn't like me distributing this as it could potentially dramatically decrease the ammount of traffic that passes through their site. It takes on average 10 seconds to retrieve weather information through my program and can take up to 5 minutes just to find what you want on their site. This cuts out the middle man and gives you what you want. Just make sure you're connected to the internet and you're all set. Best of all it's FREE.

This concept is excellent!
The MOD is 
no problem (just points to an incorrect 
location) but in the HideFrm where it 
does the GetSystemMenu call, everything 
aborts because "GetSystemMenu" is 
undefined.
Other than this, good 
work!

Awesome job on Weather 4.0! 5 globes

Found two little bugs so 
far, one was the Central America & 
Caribbean dropdown - will not load the 
countries. Can you fix that?
The 
other bug was in LMapfrm (Large Maps) 
at this line..
         ElseIf sel_d 
= 38 Then 
the app tries to download 
BOTH South Pole Large and Western Hemi 
Global thereby causing an error. I 
deleted the "South Pole" reference line 
to fix the error.
Keep up with the 
good work Nathan!

try 
selling it. Thanks for sharing it with

My only concern is that when

I tried to create a weather program 
myself, but gave up over all the Metar 
decoding.. I guess using the U.S. Metar 
report is the only source which will 
never change. But decoding is really a 
pain. Well, since this program is far 
more better from the one I tried, I'll 
use this one.. Thanks a lot!

While this code is well written and 
useful, it is no better than the hack 
of NetZero (elsewhere on PSC by another 
author) in that it should not be made 
into a distributed application, but 
kept as an interesting sideshow.
There 
are many ways to make software like 
this without needing to leech 
weather.com's information. I would 
suggest setting up software like 
Hamweather from Hamweather.com, but you 
need to know perl and have a perl 
server (which you can get for free). 
Once someone makes weather software 
that avoids weather.com and uses either 
their own weather site or direct info 
from public sources, then that program 
will deserve to win!!

I must say im very impressed, though 
the code is not so good. You have 
written tons of code, for no reason. 
You should really get into useing loops 
etc... Also, name things with 
extentions you can remember...like 
txtSomething, 
frmSomething...
Anyways, you made a 
really good program. I can understand 
why the weather website dosnt want to 
use this, if they ever will want 
something like this, they would make it 
them self. But dont get kicked down by 
that, keep going!

feedbacks, I think that you could 
modify your code to get the graphics

Nathan,
I sent a note but it looks 
like it didn't transmit.  I get the 
maps but no weather data even after i 
put in the Zip code. I also got a type 
mismatch error 13..  The text is grayed 
out and
i try to load the 0cx files to 
the components list but only systray 
gets loaded.
Great looking product

I sure love the effort all you guys are 
putting out making weather data 
grabbers, but what I want to know is 
why no one seems to have ever heard of 
http://www.hamweather.com . The reason 
im referancing them is because their 
scripts get a file from noah weather 
then parse it & generate their outputs. 
This is how weather.com gets most their 
data. What we need is to go to the 
source rather than second partys. That 
way we can have live streeming data 
allmost.

Ok I found the old download site for us 
so we can rip apart the perl scripts & 
get to the source, you can find that at

When the user requests weather 
information, HAMweather will obtain the 
text data, as needed, from the National 
Weather Service (NWS) and the 
Interactive Weather Information Network 
(IWIN).  The raw data is then parsed, 
cleaned up and presented to the user. 
Hope you all enjoy the input & help 
please let me know when you get this 
idea of mine to fly, perhapps I will 
lay a foundation im going to download 
the demo now & start documenting what 
all will be needed.
