Hello people,

I am searching for a program wich I can use to track hurricanes.
I used to have this sort of program a few years ago, but forgot
it's name.

Please help me out.

Thanks

This is freeware but the installation instructions should be read
carefully. JStrack is actually a script which requires another
program to operate. It downloads reports from the national
Hurricane Center ftp site and plots them on an included map. It
covers the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico storms. At the
present time , the NHC ftp server is not responding.

I use a program called Global Tracks. It costs $55 but the guy who's
creating it takes suggestions for future patches to improve the program.

Also, he is currently overseas, I believe with the US Army... so buying
the software is a great way to support him. Go to www.extremewx.com to
check it out.
