Yep, that's the one. At the time we received the first request for that I believe we were only capable of running under Cygwin on Windows machines, and the package that wrote the WXNOW.TXT file was a Windows-only package, so we didn't give it much priority. Since then we've had maybe one or two requests a year for support and Xastir runs under Windows using at least two more methods. Perhaps the weather program runs on Linux now too. In any case it's probably time to think about adding in support for the format, which can give us more ability in the future for supporting more formats if it's written in a general fashion. Hopefully Clay will get some time to look at that in the near future. I'll be glad to help here and there with integration but can't be point-man on the project right now. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
