README for OpenWeather (OWEATHER.PRG)
=====================================

A simple weather app for multitasking, large colour screen Atari 
ST/STE/TT/Falcon compatible systems. It runs fine on my MagiC-PC setup.
Weather data are fetched from openweathermap.org. An internet connection (with 
STiK) is required.


How to
------
Start the program and OpenWeather will open a small window in the top
right of your screen. The window will show the current weather data for the
location set in LOCATION.INF. You can drag the window to any postion. 

You can force a refresh by doubleclicking in the window or click Refresh in 
the menu or use the keyboard shortcut ^R. Keep in mind that the openweathermap 
server data are only updated approximately once every hour.

LOCATION.INF should contain the name or the lan/lon coordinates for the 
location for which you want weather data displayed. Further info and 
examples in LOCATION.INF.

The About menu will tell you that the program is copyright of ACWOT Software. 
Monty Python fans will recognize the acronym. It stands for A Complete Waste 
Of Time, because that's what it is.
