[Xastir] How to get CWOP weather on APRS network

[Tom Russo]

I can't explain what Liz is doing, but Xastir supports "wxnow.txt" format
weather reports in a somewhat kludgy way.  Does your weather station by
any chance support such a format?

The trick is to run a little perl kludge I wrote that masquerades as a
Davis Meteo database server --- but instead of polling the Meteo database
it reads the wxnow.txt file and serves it up to Xastir in the right format.

That script's called "wxnowsrv.pl" in the Xastir scripts directory.  

You run this script on the machine where the wxnow.txt file is
created, then tell Xastir to connect to it as a "Networked WX" interface.

See comments at the top of the script for more detail.
