Why, yes there is. Only problem is...the weather server is wrong. At least, it was in the last one I saw and I had to change it. The weather script should install with the expect package...so you have to install expect, and you'll have a script called weather that telnets to the Weather Underground and pulls a forecast for the default city. Or you can type weather followed by a three-letter city code (like, say, DFW) to get a forecast for another city. If you install expect and your weather script doesn't work, let me know and I'll send you mine. The only relevant changes though will be the weather server (which you'll want to change to rainmaker.wunderground.com instead of the name that's there--leave the 3000 alone...) Well, there's that, and you'll probably want to change the default city (MDC) to whatever your city is. Other than that...well, that's it, really. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV | From the pines down to the projects, Email: davros at ycardz.com | Life pushes up through the cracks.
