   Weather door

   I've updated my weather door.  Now it deletes the file it creates in the bbbs/   
   home direcory, and it displays more information.   
      
   You can enter the city name (single word), or a two-word name in quotes or   
   separated with _, like New_York, or you can enter the zip code instead of any   
   of those.   
      
   // start getweather.bz   
   // by janis kracht   
      
   int main() {   
   char cs,ga,cc,sp,cg,x;   
   cs="";   
   int l;   
   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);   
   system(sprintf("/usr/bin/curl wttr.in/%s -O",cc),1,0);   
   system(sprintf("/usr/bin/head -n 17 %s",cc),1,0); printf("\e[40;1H\e[1;33mPress   
    a key to continue"); getch();   
   rename(cc, "fubba.fil");   
   remove("/home/bbbs/fubba.fil");   
   bbbs("cls");   
   }   
      
   // end getweather.bz   
      
      
   The "more information" it displays is a 120char wide display of that days'   
   weather: morning, noon, evening and night.   
      
   I'm thinking of making that a choice where the short choice would be what it   
   was displaying when I first worked on this, such as:   
      
   Weather for  Zipcode: 14881   
      
      \  /       Partly cloudy   
     _ /"".-.     3 - 15 °F   
       \_(   ).   -> 10 mph   
       /(___(__)  9 mi   
                  0.0 in   
      
      
      
   and the alternate would be the "long choice", showing graphics for all the time   
    periods mentioned above.   
      
   Anyway, that's where the door is at so far :)   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
