Hi, Steve:


I found the Davis software rather inflexible. There's no way, for
instance, of starting the day at 09:00UTC, or rather only by telling the
software it's in Alaska, ie minus 9hrs!


My software (see below) allows this.

I find the WeatherDisplay software from:

http://www.tokaanuskihire.co.nz/wdhelp/index.shtml

suited me better. It must be good: it's organised by another Brian!


But mine's free. And it doesn't look like... No, I'll stop there.


?Gothic? I agree.

Mine does have a number of shortcomings, though, I'll admit that.


Possibly it only runs on Micro$oft Windoze, like the others. I run Linux
whenever poss. But it looks nice.

I hadn't heard of yours. WDisplay is mentioned, with a URL, on John
Dann's helpful site. Do you think John would also mention yours?

I'm just starting a new weather website. It's not yet complete, but I'm
updating a "Current" page already. Have a look at:

www.evershot-weather.org/wx.html

But please be kind about the incomplete remainder of the site.

Hugh
