I must unfortunately announce that weather information is no longer
available by fingering the account ``weather'' at host
avalon.eecs.nwu.edu.  I was obtaining the Chicago area forecast from
host atmos.washington.edu and massaging it to look a little nicer.
Washington has been informed by their weather forecast supplier that
they are not allowed to redistribute the information outside of the
University.  Since they no longer provide this service, I have disabled
the weather information service on avalon.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

For more information, try ``finger weather@atmos.washington.edu''.
