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:

Code: Select all

ren weather3.5.6.tcl.gz weather3.5.6.tcl

strange begining of non-zipped TCL file... maybe your browser already de-gnuzipped it while downloading ^-^.
since its compressed from 50Kb to 14KB, I think its worth being zipped.

archive file type

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.

Well then I'm a genius because it not only works for me but for a couple of friends of mine I have had to get to do it also. :P

As far as my Windows is concerned (and a few others) it's simply a file with an incorrect extention.

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.
