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,
as an icon on Workbench, AmiDock or in the GUI.  It can show a forecast for up
to 24 hours ahead (where available), and is fully localisable.

Previous few version changes:

4.12 (04.12.2005)

* Shuffled the Location tab around a bit and added sunset/sunrise times.
* Added an ARexx script "search_nsd.rexx" which wil search through the site information file for a string and return some potential ICAO codes.
* In December the month was simply showing as "%".  Fixed.
* Wind gust speed was not converting to the correct unit.  Fixed.
* The parts of the forecast that are marked as low probability are now added to the forecast again.
* Added new French translation.

4.11 (26.11.2005)

* Added AUTORUNAREXX tooltype, ARexx commands to get the data's date and time
and an example ARexx script which logs the observed temperatures.
* A certain connection error was causing a recoverable alert.  Fixed.
* Rewrote most of the forecast-related routines, as still having problems with
bogus data appearing.  Is now greatly simplified and hopefully more reliable.
* The date of the last update could show the incorrect month in certain
circumstances.  Fixed. 
* When cloud height not available, it was being reported as -11100ft.  Now shows
a slightly more correct 0ft.

4.1 (20.11.2005)

* Added a docky icon. (thanks to Stefan Robl for sending me the SDK)
* Will now work behind a proxy server. (even on a direct link, specifying a web
cache proxy is recommended)
* Now retrieves data with an If-Modified-Since header, which significantly
speeds up updates, especially if new data is not available.
* Can now set the poll interval in 10 minute increments.
* Warnings now automatically suppressed if another app requests "game mode".
* A saved project icon sometimes resulted in an incorrect ENVPATH tooltype. 
Fixed.
* Forecasts generated <1hr from midnight sometimes resulted in uneventful
duplicated times. Fixed.
* Rain and Snow Showers were showing the Showers icon rather than Rain or Snow.
Fixed.
* Iconified icon (AppIcon disabled) was not disappearing if the window was
reopened using a method other than double-clicking on the icon.

4.0 (28.08.2005)

* Forecast tab now shows the forecasted weather for up to 24 hours.
* Displays temperature to one decimal place when more accurate information is
available. (mostly US locations)
* Displays sea-level pressure to one decimal place when information is
available. (mostly US locations)
* Specific Humidity (in g/kg) now selectable from the GUI.
* Added pressure and humidity options to the rename requester for the AppIcon.
* Added HUMIDITY ARexx command.
* Now checks for weather every 30 seconds if previous attempt detected network
related errors (will bring the weather up more quickly if network was
unavailable)
* Network related errors (the ones that can be avoided using "suppress
warnings") no longer steal focus, and automatically time out after 30 seconds.
* Now updates the weather as soon as the location code changes.
* Uses newer faster DOS functions to parse the site information file, now
requires OS4 update 3.
* ARexx port now has a dynamic name, so multiple instances of Wet can all be
called from ARexx.
* Included an ARexx script to download the site information file nsd_cccc.txt
(requires WGet)
* Warns when observing station has problems by displaying an exclamation mark
after the weather/icon name.
* Displayed gibberish after program name in CX Exchange if ICAO code was not
set. Fixed.
* Double-click on program icon when it was already launched but not visible did
not always open the window.  Fixed.
* Icon sometimes switched to night-time before the sunset time given in icon
information.  Fixed.
* Icon sometimes never switched to night-time.  Fixed.
* Low speed variable winds were not being decoded properly.  Fixed.
* Possibility that extra weather phenomena could be reported that weren't
observed.  Fixed.
