Thanks Mark,
Like Peter T, I am using IE as my browser, Yeah, the error message
mentioned Apache.
Now working just fine.
You must have re-tickled the program in just in the right spot: Thank
goodness! I was not looking forward to brushing up on using Skew-T
data off the University of Wyoming site.

The SkewT/LogP is a bit complicated until you get used to it. I have
attempted to explain how to use it in the following article.

If you have a read of that and still are having difficulty, I'd be happy
to talk you through using it.
The really big advantage of using the SkewT/LogP diagram is that this is
what NOAA puts out - which forecasts what the atmosphere will be doing
during the day. One of the inputs into its forecasting model NOAA use is
the data from Australian temp traces.
Whilst looking at the actual temp traces is certainly useful, looking in
the morning here in Aus means that you are looking at the 2300hrs trace
from yesterday - and furthermore there are large areas of Australia that
are nowhere near a site that does temp traces with balloons.
We've been using the NOAA forecasting tools now for quite a few years
at DDSC and, whilst there are limitations (principally close to trough
lines here in Qld), once you get used to these NOAA's SkewT/LogP is an
exceptionally useful tool.
