Jim (that's me, btw—JStrack's author, for those coming from the JStrack site), is in need of your assistance.... I can't work right now due to the cancer's attack on my brain (not to mention the aftermath of the three brain surgeries and the radiation therapy I'm currently dealing with!), and I may not be able to return to work (if you ask the doctors, they'll tell you flat out that I won't be able to), and still I need money to pay bills, buy food, etc....

Want to help? I can't include the following link on my atspace pages (the log of events since being diagnosed), as they don't allow PayPal links...so it's got its own little page here....

JStrack Downloads

"Snapsnot" release (the latest from my hard drive...basically as is, but I use it, so....)....
- jstrack-24jul06.zip
- jstrack-24jul06.tar.gz

This version:

fixes the problems with the filter introduced when the NHC changed the date format from (e.g.) "2100Z" to "2100 UTC"
has some limited city names for the gulf coast map...but only the first time the map is loaded...this is very much an incomplete work in progress, and I was thinking about disabling it before making the above archive files, but I chose instead to at least let people see where things are (or may be) headed.
adds lots of other stuff—see the HISTORY file for more information....

You will need to have Tcl/Tk installed before you do anything else. After you extract the archives (and have installed Tcl/Tk), you will need to run autoconfig.tcl (under the ht directory).

NOTE: The code for satellite imagery and for creating an image file from the main window REQUIRES the Img extension. This is included in the ActiveTcl release for Windows. For Unix users, you'll need to download it (see links below).
