from Tim this evening: Hi Greg, I'll look at this shortly. I actually subcontracted the TIFF work to a Russian developer, which was delivered today, and I will be examining the work and testing it, hopefully eliminating the problem with the LibTiff dependency. The zlib1.dll file however is not an Ep...

It is described on page 17 of the manual and has a screen shot as well.

In 2.07 an .08, there is not a method in preferences to set station plot density. It is on the main screen, all the way on the left side about half way down. It is called "Data Plot Crowding" and then there is a slider bar underneath that you can set. I seem to recall that it was in 2.06 a...

Its not on the main screen, left side center listed as "data plot" with a sliding bar? I know it was in 2.07 and current 2.08.
BTW, forget the manual. It needs to be updated in a major way.

Hey guys, I was looking to add my opinion to this problem and I think part of it has to do with the URLs. Could both Wally and Michael please post the entire URL for the hurricane data? Thanks!

Greg

The only "live" radar data is through each individual site to the best of my knowledge and as for countries I am unsure of their data is publicly available. If you find any, please post the links here for future reference.

Greg

I am unaware of a single source US radar composite. I don't understand your last request "for other counties".

Greg

Do you have the Standard or Pro version?

After playing for the last several hours I believe that from comments in the forums that the NHC has changed the format of the text messages that is incompatible, at this time, with DA. Tim will have to rewrite the decoding format to utilize the newer format.

Taking a shot here but are you sure you have the hurricane data? I assume that it is the "hur.txt" file in lines 3 and 4 above. At what point did you download it in the script and where did you obtain the data? Luck!
