    Question finding the current temperature

    Does anybody know of a web server or something that can be called with a ZIP code parameter which will return the current temperature? Maybe a telnet site? Anything?

    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.

    I've been working with that web site all morning to figure out how to use it to my advantage. I came up with the simple project attached.

    It grabs the current date/time using Telnet and the current temperature using www.weather.com.

    The embedded web browser interface is touchy at times and I can't figure out how to stop those annoying pop-up ads.

    To compile the project you will need to include the Microsoft Internet Controls and Winsock Control 6.0 components.

    I welcome any ideas/suggestions/solutions/extra cash.

    And here's the project (I hate it when that happens).

    Thanks everyone!
