[GreenKeys] Weather & News

[Duncan Brown]

Tom,

One of the problems with the original HeavyMetal program  was that it 
was written to bring in text files from specific URLs, but then the URLs 
changed and/or they changed from simple text files to HTML or whatever.

For weather forecasts, you can still get text files from the National 
Weather Service.  For example,
ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/zone/ny/nyz014.txt will bring up 
the Canandaguia, NY weather forecast for the day and HM will send it to 
your TTY.  We do this all the time at the AWA Museum.
The problem is, figuring out the NWS code for your city. The URL I have 
for the NWS codes 
http://nws.noaa.gov/mirs/public/prods/maps/pfzones_list.htm  does not 
seem to work any more.

good luck,

Duncan
