HELP DOCUMENT INDEX
This is file is the master index of other help documents that you can
request from this mail server. Previously we had all the instructions in
a single message but it was becoming unwieldy for some users to download
over limited connections such as SailMail. Therefore we have sliced the
documentation into a number of sub-documents which you can easily
request using the links below.
Note: In general you probably want to retrieve all three of the
following help files
INDEX FILENAME
DESCRIPTION
help-grib
GRIB FILES. This document describes how to automatically request binary
GRIB data.
NOTE: You will need a viewer program in order to do something useful
with this data. Please see: http://www.mailasail.com/Support/Weather [1]
help-text
TEXTUAL WEATHER REPORTS. This document describes how to automatically
request a variety of weather forecasts and reports that are available in
text format (ie no pictures). Text format weather files will download
much faster than graphical forecasts over slower internet connections
help-graphic
GRAPHICAL WEATHER REPORTS. This document describes how to
automatically request a variety of weather forecasts and reports that
are available in graphical format (ie they are pictures). Beware that on
slower internet connections it may take several minutes to download each
picture, so don't order too many at one time
