Installer problem.... For some reason the installer isn't creating the program group shortcut in the start/all programs list. The program does, however, install in the folder it is supposed to and the executable loads fine from there. Edit: It installed over top of the program group for Dig Atm 2000...

I didn't really notice anything... like you said, the problem has probably already cleared up.

Maybe it was just a temporary problem with the data feed??

I don't think it is grabbing it four times. Each section amounts to a different weather element observation. Wind, temperatures, etc.

Thanks for dissecting the link for us, Wally!

Are you sure that last link doesn't work all on it's own?

I just clicked on it in firefox and it brought up a couple hundred obs, so it must be a subset:)

I already brought it up with Tim several weeks or so ago. He said he would have to work in some support for it.
