<p data-mce-style="margin: 0px;" style="margin: 0px;">I would like
to announce "Gamma Testing" of AutoSkyWarn (ASW). ASW is
designed to couple SkyWarn Operations with AllStar Servers /
Nodes. ASW is a program / shell script (developed to run on the
AllStar DIAL distribution for PCs) allowing an AllStar Server
and Node to automatically report and announce forty nine (49)
National Weather Service (NWS) Warnings, Watches, Advisories and
Special Weather Statements as they occur.</p>

<p data-mce-style="margin: 0px;" style="margin: 0px;">You can

<p data-mce-style="margin: 0px;" style="margin: 0px;"><br>
</p>
<p data-mce-style="margin: 0px;" style="margin: 0px;">and also on
that site you can hear 3 sounds clips of messages produced by
ASW.</p>
<p data-mce-style="margin: 0px;" style="margin: 0px;"><br>
</p>
<p data-mce-style="margin: 0px;" style="margin: 0px;">This release
is for someone that has worked with UNIX/Linux systems as
superuser. There are notes, but no step by step installation
guide. (There is an effort to integrate ASW into the DIAL
upgraded system.) The software requires Festival and SOX to
operate. Alpha and Beta testing have been successful.</p>
<p data-mce-style="margin: 0px;" style="margin: 0px;"><br>
</p>
<p data-mce-style="margin: 0px;" style="margin: 0px;">I will be
releasing copies of ASW (as a tarball) by email until there is a
fully documented installation guide. So after reviewing the
Overview and ReadMe1st if you are still interested in becoming a
Gamma Test site for AutoSkyWarn please send me an email at</p>

<p data-mce-style="margin: 0px;" style="margin: 0px;">and please
include:<br>
- your location<br>
- a URL pointer to your repeater/group website if you have one</p>
<p data-mce-style="margin: 0px;" style="margin: 0px;">- if you are
willing to make notes about your install process</p>
<p data-mce-style="margin: 0px;" style="margin: 0px;">- and when
you have it running, send comments about operation<br>
- any other interesting information</p>
<p data-mce-style="margin: 0px;" style="margin: 0px;"><br>

<p data-mce-style="margin: 0px;" style="margin: 0px;">The tarball
should be ready by next week.</p>
