BTW, it's about time the file was archived correctly. It's not a .gz archive (no point archiving anything under 60Kb anyway in my opinion).

For those having any probs in Windows opening it for offline editing. From the Command Console:

The tcl file is gzipped.
Simply renaming the file will NOT work.
To extract:
gzip -d weather3.5.6.tcl.gz

I recommend the freeware program IZArc for Windows users.

here is the error upon loading a renamed file in a BSD system:
Tcl error: invalid command name "‹©ÌC

errorInfo gives:
Currently: invalid command name "‹©ÌC

then again, maybe it's a "benefit" from Windows being a hacked OS (pieces taken from a few open source projects running under a proprietary interface)

or you (and the others) may simply have an archive program that added shell extensions

I didn't mention anything about renaming it in any geek OS. I simply stated a fact that my XP Pro simply sees the file as having an incorrect extention. If I've come across this then others surely have, which is why I made my original post in the first place. Wink

Thanks very much for the update! The weather now works great again. But for some reason the time function is still not working for me.

the -t flag just returns

It's in New York, New York (10012)

(without the time)

Cheers!

#1 The file IS archived correctly.
#2 The archive IS a .gz archive.
#3 There is a point in archiving/compressing any file that provides any reasonable percentage of compression. This one compresses quite a bit.
#4 Simply renaming a file doesn't make it work.
#5 Maybe this works in Windows because it reads the file header, sees it's a compressed (GZIPPED) file and automatically decompresses it on open. You probably have some archive shell extension loaded that supports this.
