[arm-allstar] Weather.sh?

[Doug Crompton]

The script interprets the text it gets from interrogating the weather for
your location. It strips out temperature and conditions. The condition
words are mapped to Allison words in the Asterisk sound library and
combined to form one gsm file that is stored and then played by another
script.

Sorry, but I can't go line by line explaining bash script language here as
it is not the intent of this email list. I suggest you get a book or
research on the Internet.
