please add a function for a line break for the Appicon, something like this: 
 
APPICONNAME=%weather%  %n% %temp%  %n% %pressure%  %n%  %humidity% 
 
where %n% is a line-break

I have an idea. Why not just get data from noaa, but also from weather underground as well. Thats a quite immence weather site.  You make a line in Wets configuration were you write the url to the Wunderground XML about the data in question.  This XML is updated continously and can easealy be read by Wet at requered intervals. and displayed on the workbench. 
 
Not just that weather underground is very versatile, I myself have a weather station in my garden that updates to that website every fifth second through the madis rapid fire protocol, and I would really like to have my data from my own garden to show up in wet,  which is quite easy; my contiunally updated xml looks like this. http://api.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXCurrentObXML.asp?ID=IHORDALA26

@blmara 
You can keep the program in one directory by simply copying the program 
directory instead of using the install script.  Amiupdate will update it 
wherever it lies, the script uses the same location data as AmiUpdate uses to 
check the version.  Previous versions had problems in this regard but 5.3 should 
be fine. 
 
If it's still a problem I'll need a copy of the install logfile, 
ENV:AppPaths/Wet and wet.info.

I prefer a program and its associated files to be installed into a single 
directory. This makes it easier to keep system clean and uninstalling is simple. 
With Wet this has to be done 'manually'. Now with AmiUpdate'd to v5.3 the 
install script installs to the default locations ie WBStartup, not to my 
directory. 
 
Suggestion: in future releases, could you make Wet to install in a single 
compact directory and make AutoInstall script to update that directory.

Please can you email me with the ICAO code and your wet.info file, and I'll try 
to reproduce the problem here.

I am just testing wet 5.3. under os4 classic. Somehow software retrieves correct 
positions/airports. Tried Dusseldorf and a few others around here, but when I 
trie to update I get the message: 
 
Kann keine Verbindung zum Server herstellen - cannot connect to server. 
 
http://weather.noaa.gov runs fine for me e.g. in AWEB. Any Ideas ? 
 
thanx Gero

@AlexC 
 
They aren't in sync intentionally.  I'm thinking of scrapping the release number 
- the split system was intended to make things more logical - as my internal 
version numbers seem to be confusing people.  The internal version is for 
my/AmigaOS' use only, just ignore it and don't quote it ever.

I hope so as well, I didn't try 4.16 at least but had some trouble with several 
older versions. However, the docky is okay here.

I solved the previous problem with a new fresh install. But like previous

The catalog archives that we hosted has been removed at the request of the Wet 
author. They are now included in the main archive.

The time displayed is adjusted to the timezone set in Locale prefs.  If you have 
Facts installed it will also push the time forward an hour during DST (I'll fix 
this once OS4 gets some better form of DST support).  The data tends to run a 
couple of hours behind here, if it is any older than that you may have selected 
a site which doesn't update often.  Try a different one (select one of the codes 
from the drop-down list next to the string gadget), most sites update once or 
twice an hour at regular intervals so even if the data is old the next update 
won't lag any further behind.

A nice program but is the time displayed really the local time or is it GMT or 
something? The information is always several hours old for me. (I had the same 
problem as Orgin but the MSERVER tooltype solved that).

I must admit I've never left it iconified for any length of time - the only 
reason the iconify gadget is even attached to the window is to stop it locking 
the WB screen.  I need to change the iconify behaviour anyway, now I have proper 
AppIcons.

the same but with debugging information and no optimisations.  Let me know how 
you get on.

Doesn't work for me. I always got "Cannot resolve IP address" Both 
when starting Wet and on update. Tried rebooting, but after that it just locks 
up the machine when I try to start Wet.

@orgin 
 
I've fixed the problem (as well as the 100% CPU load and a couple of other 
little bugs).  I'll upload a new archive within a few days as I'm expecting 
another updated translation catalog.  There is a new executable linked from the 
aw.net news article thread, if you want to give that a try.

@Chris When I add that tooltype it tries to open a file/directory that does not 
exist: 
"Unable to open work:apps205.156.51.200/banner" 
 
And after that I get 100% CPU load. 
 
Wet is in "work:apps/wet/"

Click on the update button and see if you still get the error.  If you can 
access that page, there is no reason why Wet shouldn't be able to get the data.
