    Weather Door for BBBS
    by Janis Kracht, 1:261/38,janis@filegate.net

    A rewrite of my weather door for BBBS was necessary for
    security reasons.

    //start getweather.bz
    int main() {
    char cs,cc,curl_cmd;
    cs="";

    bbbs("cls");

    printf("\e[1;1H\e[1;33mTo get the weather for names containing spaces,");
    printf("\e[2;1H\e[1;33menter the name in quotes or use an underscore");
    printf("\e[3;1H\e[1;33mfor example, both \"new york\" and new_york work.");
    printf("\e[4;1H\e[1;33m Or enter your Zip Code if you prefer.");
    printf("\n\n");
    cs=input("Enter City:    ",50,0);
    cc=sprintf("\"%s\"",cs);
    curl_cmd = sprintf("/usr/bin/curl -o weather.tmp -s wttr.in/%s", cc);
    system(curl_cmd, 1, 0);
    system("/usr/bin/head -n 17 weather.tmp", 1, 0);
    printf("\e[40;1H\e[1;33mPress a key to continue");
    getch();
    remove("weather.tmp");
    bbbs("cls");
    }
    //end getweather.bz

    Thanks to Kim Heino for pointing this out and a cleaner
    way to write this :)
