Jason,

I'm looking to amend just my copy of xastir to suit a particular local need.

By way of explanation, the Linux box providing the weather display for presenters is locked away, with the screen being visible through a window between the studio and the computer room. Presenters have no access to the machine (to avoid the "fiddle factor") to be able to access drop-down boxes containing rainfall information. I therefore need to provide, on screen, the data they need and, rainfall is one such item.

With the town of Kempsey being on a major river system that has produced two major floods, at least five moderate floods and countless minor floods in 8 years, rainfall figures are more important than humidity. Of course, both would be even better <grin>. Since, as already confessed, I am not a programmer, I must stick to my own level of inexpertise!

Are you talking about a change in your copy of xastir, or the base
code? If the latter, I'd be against that.

Current humidity can be useful (here in the southeastern US) for
tracking a front (along with temperature), even if the reporting
station doesn't have an anemometer.

I'd certainly be open to_ additional_ functionality...
