This program retrieves local meterological data from the Internet, and saves it
in
(regulary updating) env-vars to allow you to display it in the WB titlebar.
Comes complete with a GUI to show full weather information and unit conversion.

Changes since last version:
2.0 (12.03.2005)

* You can now display full weather information in the GUI, and select the units
you wish to display the data in. Shows some additional information to the
env-vars as well.
* Localised for multiple languages support, default units are now based on OS
Locale settings.
* Added CloudCover and CloudHeight env-vars (reports lowest level only).
* New "quiet" mode, to stop error requesters appearing.
* Latitude/Longitude values remain valid after manually typing ICAO ID, and
longitudes of >99° are now selectable.
* Directional visibility is now handled and stops the indication of 9000°C etc
appearing errorneously.
* GRID wind direction values are now handled internally, although Wet shows them
as values in degrees - which is not necessarily incorrect.
* Inches of mercury is now displayed to 2 decimal places.
* Changed the significant weather parsing, so Wet will now display "Snow" or
"Rain" instead of "Showers", unless the precipitation type is unknown.
* Wet no longer crashes when the site data file (nsd_cccc.txt) is not found.
* Fixed several occurances where Wet could fail to retrieve or decode data
correctly, often resulting in a crash.
* Pretty banner and install script added.

Wet is the application for OS4 that displays the current weather on your Workbench - in the titlebar, as an icon or simple in a Reaction-based GUI.

This new version includes support for displaying forecasted weather up to 24 hours in advance - where available.

More change details and further information can be found in the readme or on the website.*

* My apologies, the website is not currently available due to Google being a little too enthusiastic at crawling dynamic links. It will be back up at the beginning of next month with a suitably edited robots.txt file. In the meantime, please feel free to ask me about Wet or anything else that would normally be covered there.
