Hello. I'm new in this forum.


[Edit]
I have a litte weather station, an Oregon 112 and I'm searching for a programme I can
use to manually load my data to. Does anybody here know of one?

Microsoft Excel . . .


Is a spread sheet what he should be looking at? Even if it was, is XL
likely to be as useful to him as one of the open source free ones. Of
course, there is online help for all sorts of officeware. And I am not
a fanboy. I happen to prefer M$'s stuff. But I was wondering about the
available help in setting up such stuff for a weather station.

A lot of the old hands at this sort of thing are adept at Linux and
Unix projects, I imagine. However, if he got Open Office (
http://www.openoffice.org/ ) he could use it across almost any
platform. There are tutorials for it online:
http://support.openoffice.org/index.html.

This is something on macros (Commands that execute automatic steps of
other commands.)
Open Office: http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/oometoc.htm
And XL: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm

All guessing in the dark of course as I am unfamiliar with every aspect
of his needs. (Posted on to a bunch of British eccentrics.)
