Always nice to have more options for weather. Thanks, Tony! A comment on the wx script ... I have found the script works just fine. However, the service isn't fully reliable. What I mean is that there are days I get only current conditions, and days on which I get a full week's outlook. Just now, for instance, the output for my zip code is a complete week's forecast. The inconsistancy is not global in my experience either. By this I mean that it may work as expected for one location, but not for another location. Early this month I traveled to Seattle on business. Consequently, for a few days ahead of my trip I was interested in weather both at home and in Seattle. In one case I get a full report. The same command run with the other zip yielded just current conditions. hth Janina Tony Baechler writes: > Yes, I realize this is a very, very late reply, but it might be useful > anyway and is generic for any platform.
