Does anyone know if there is a good amiga weather program or service
that provides up to the minute satellite pictures?? I was thinking of
something like Mindscapes Weatherbrief or something like that...

I was thinking of Current satellite pictures are available for FTP at vmd.cso.uiuc.edu in the phil.515. They are in GIF format so you will need a GIF display program. If you do not have direct FTP capability, you can still get to the files via the Princeton FTP server. Get and read the text files in this directory... there is info on a weather discussion group as well as a service that can send you national severe weather info (among other advisories), arriving in your mailbox within minutes of their issuance.

It is a weather fax (wefax) receiver program that connects your parallel port to a shortwave radio or satellite down converter, and then makes pretty pictures of the incoming data. The program isn't yet finished, but it DOES work! I'm in the process of writing more features and fixing bugs on it now. E-mail me if you have interest. It is available from me only, as I am the sole author. It will save and restore pictures in IFF format, but that has some problems due to the shared library I'm using. The next thing to do is write my own library routines that do IFF save and restore of a SuperBitMap. There is about $25 worth of parts involved which you have to put together. I have a couple of folks that have done this besides myself, and the results are quite good. The better your radio, the better your pictures. > Bryan > >Bryan Harpel >UUCP: {rugters|uuwest|uunet}!cbmvax!amix!undrground!bryanh -dave -- Dave McMahan mcmahan@netcom.com {apple,amdahl,claris}!netcom!mcmahan
