It does just about everything, I'll give it that. But its interface
isn't to my taste. Does it still display Beaufort numbers based on the
latest gust reading?

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.


Yes, XP and Vista (and server derivatives) only. I'm about to embark on
a complete re-write that might just end up running on Linux and Mac OS X
too.


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?


John seems to name three "leading third-party packages". I can't claim
to be one of those.

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.


Looks fine to me.
