Hi ho,
        A program for downloading NWS faxes is posted on one of the web
sites at Cornell. Kinda rough around the edges, for LINUX (RH6.2). And,
most Unix OS's, if you have some ancillary files listed in the program.
Tried to keep it portable...
        No executable, there are some compile time config that need to
be done, before building. (This is a copy of the first non-beta)
        Point your browser at:
                http:\\atmos.cit.cornell.edu/download/wfax.tgz

        I could not get permission to inject the faxes into the IDD. Sorry.
There were some legalistical, not logical, concerns. As Don suggested,
difax stuff should move over to the difax list. So this is the last on this
subject from me to the ldm list.
                                                jdm
