Introduction
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
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
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
 · Can monitor weatherdata for 558 cities in the US, 44 cities in Canada and
   93 cities outside the US/Canada.
 · 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
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
 · AmigaOS 2.04 or higher
 · MUI 3.3 or higher
 · A TCP/IP stack (like AmiTCP, Miami, As225, Inet225 or mlink)

Version history
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
WeatherExperience 1.3 (27.7.96)
 · Fixed a bug in the "smart"-scrolling.
 · Added a new unit for pressure: kilopascal.
   (Requested by Adam Szymczak)
 · Added 44 major Canadian cities!
   (Most requested feature)
 · Improved settings saving & loading, WE should no longer mix up cities 
   from different regions with the same names.
 · When you press refresh the timer request is now aborted and a new one is 
   started.
 · Changed the formula for calculating Pascal from inches of Mercury 
   slightly.
 · This version still does not work with as225/inet225. I know where the 
   problem is, and I can reproduce it, but I don't know how to fix it yet.

 · Please be aware that I'm off for more than two weeks of vacation on the 
   30th of July so your mails will go unanswered for a while. Tell 
   WeatherExperience to monitor the weather in San Francisco and Monterey 
   while I'm there and hope for good weather! :)
