JStrack is a freeware hurricane tracking program written
entirely with Tcl/Tk.

NOTE:  '''JStrack's author has been diagnosed with
cancer''', and the JStrack site is offline until he
can get his own Internet service again.  This
may be a while.

I said when I first wrote JStrack (even before I
announced the idea to a few folks and asked for their
opinions) that JStrack would always be free.  This has
not changed.  HOWEVER....  '''Financial considerations at
this time''' (hospital bills, lack of insurance or income,
etc.) '''require that I at least give people the chance to
send donations, if they so desire.'''

I can be reached at j88aggie@yahoo.com (will update info here
if/when it changes) for further contact info.

Sorry folks, but the next release might be a lot further off
than I'd hoped.  Here's hoping everyone is using the latest
"snapshot" release from the former site....

The [Wayback Machine] contains the following snapshot of JStack, in case anyone needs it:

It's a 1.6MB download (unpacks to 15MB) though, so go easy on the WBM.

Thanks!  --jdg       Except, uhhh, it's a dead link.  No JStrack.  If anyone has the latest version,
and wouldn't mind making it available, please put the link here.  I have, in a storage locker I can't
get to, an even more up-to-date version with some rather major updates from last hurricane season (if
I remember correctly---combine the "fog" from chemotherapy and the anti-stress medication they've got
me on and my memory isn't so great) and...if I haven't lost the locker and everything in it due to
financial problems by then, I'll try to dig out the FreeBSD machine and make a new release with the
*REAL* latest version.....

Also, anyone interested in how I'm doing in the fight against cancer should look at
my myspace page, which, as I type this, I'm working on setting up as a central point
for distributing information to friends/family.  The link is  http://www.myspace.com/spooky130u.

(Note to Wiki admins---please advise if you disapprove of this being on the Wiki...just e-mail me with
the info.  The lack of a response to this so far leads me to believe that there are no objections, but
I'll still keep this here, just in case---I do NOT want to be seen as abusing/mis-using the site.)
