+#
+# lcdmetar.pl is a program to fetch METAR Weather information (e.g.
+# temperature) from a nearby (or not) airport using Geo::METAR and the
+# LWP modules.
+#
+# Given an airport site code on the command line, lcdmetar.pl
+# fetches the current temperature, wind and clound information,
+#  and displays it via lcdproc (http://lcdproc.omnipotent.net)
+# For fun, here are some example airports:
+#
+# LA     : KLAX
+# Dallas : KDFW
+# Detroit: KDTW
+# Chicago: KMDW
+# Graz/Austria (Thalerhof) : LOWG
+#
+# no warranty - use at your own risc. 
+# DO NOT PLAN FLIGHTS ETC ON THIS INFORMATION!!!!
