Timmy:

 Do you want me delete your 2nd post?

 Ok, so Sun-01, Pre-01, RF-01, and WS-01 are good for you?  This is only for one city, right?

Uk_skinner,

Two times: that's OK!

FYI: this URL if not for one city, but for the whole country. But,as you know, I'm living in a little/small country...

  It is on my to-do list.  But it is a long one........

uk_skinner,

forget it, don't break your mind for that...

  It is on my to-do list.  But it is a long one........  

I know that, but maybe one of the php-experts can take a look at
this weathertext:

http://www.wetterspiegel.de/prognosetext.html?id=1

and can say, if it is possible, to get something like this in rss-format ?
If possible with keywords as a headline and text in the linked format ?

Greetings Broesel

The ID in the url is a country-code, We can get this forecast for every
country in Germany, 1 means Schleswig-Holstein, the country where I
live in

Well, the German alphapet has some letters, that are known as ä, ö, ü
and in html they are signed as &auml;, &ouml;, &uuml;. They will not be
displayed proper in xml, so what you could do, is change them to
&auml; = ae , &ouml; =oe, &uuml; = ue, that would be understand in
German.

i will take a look at your package, thanks

Wichtel, broesel:

 Thanks for the explaination.

  Does this happen to English OS?  If it is, then I probably don't have to worry about it as long as it shows up right in your German OS.

I think, it's HTML, to display it the right way, it always use the &ouml;
format, Sent you a mail with the explanations of our "special letters"

Took a look, and there are many ID's  
Can be personalized by going to the Webpage and searching ones
own city, so I can't do that for every city in Germany but can give instructions
to interested users.

 Problem fixed.
 I need your input about:

1)  How the city name get imported to exe?  Will a configure file with the list of city and RSS number work, such as

Flensburg
21
Stuttgart
22

2)  As you know, a Index file needs to be downloaded first.  Do you want want this done in radar.txt or a part of exe?  I currently set a check point ot check the file time of this file.  It will ask users to update it if it is not create today.
