Yahoo! Weather plugin for LCD Smartie

This is a .Net plugin so it requires the .Net framework.

This plugin works for any location worldwide available from http://weather.yahoo.com and returns the current conditions, temperature, and 3 day forecast (high temperature, low temperature, and condition) based on a US Zip code or a location code in either fahrenheit or celsius.

$dll(YahooWeather,1,AYXX0003#c,forecasthigh#2) returns tomorrow's high temperature in celsius for Base Jubany, Antarctica.

Additionally, for each location the plugin can return the timezone, sunrise, sunset, city, region, latitude and longitude.

Data from multiple locations can be included on one or more screens. The plugin updates data every 10 minutes by default but this can be modified with a registry entry.

You can browse the Yahoo! Weather pages to determine the location code (it will be the name of a weather page without the .html extension.
