I will ask some of the guys in the local office for the lowdown and I'll pass along my findings.Weather forecasts are better than they ever have been.

Just do a search for 'linux' in their forums' Saw something there that there might be a DA port for Linux. Gempak is free and the DA crowd seem to recommend it for Linux. I'm sure there are lots but just elusive to find. Now with that cleared up I am still unsure what you are looking for?
