This small application displays a thermometer on your screen with the current temperature. You need a TCP host that posts this information.
You can see the temperature in Boulder, Colorado by setting up the host address to thermhost.colorado.edu or refuge.colorado.edu (or is it *.cs.colorado.edu. They might have changed it). The port for this host is 451.
In Network setup, the search string is what is followed by the temperature in the string sent by the server. For example, if the server sends:
The temperature is 50 degrees.
then the search string should be something like 'is '. Don't forget the space.
If you find other sites that send the temperature, please let me know. I would like to keep a list to send out with this program.
