Kim brought some things to my attention with my weather door... this is
definitely a better way to do it (thanks Kim :))

//weather door
int main() {
char cs,ga,cc,sp,cg,x;
cs="";
int l;
char curl_cmd;
bbbs("cls");

printf("\e[1;1H\e[1;33mTo get the weather for names containing spaces,");
printf("\e[2;1H\e[1;33menter the name in quotes or use an underscore");
printf("\e[3;1H\e[1;33mfor example, both \"new york\" and new_york work.");
printf("\e[4;1H\e[1;33m Or enter your Zip Code if you prefer.");
printf("\n\n");
cs=input("Enter City:    ",50,0);
cc=sprintf("\"%s\"",cs);
curl_cmd = sprintf("/usr/bin/curl -o weather.tmp -s wttr.in/%s", cc);
system(curl_cmd, 1, 0);
system("/usr/bin/head -n 17 weather.tmp", 1, 0); printf("\e[40;1H\e[1;33mPress
a key to continue"); getch();
remove("weather.tmp");
bbbs("cls");
}
//end weather door

Much safer for your system this way :)

Take care,
Janis
