NAME

       buildMetarDB - build databases for METAR stations

SYNOPSIS

       buildMetarDB -l|-a [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This script downloads, saves and processes the textfiles needed for building the databases
       to enable searching for METAR stations.

       You can download the locations, which is a database of about  12000 world-wide  locations,
       which  can  be  used  to determine the coordinates of your city or you can download a file
       with 6500 airports providing the metar data. This database is  used  for  the  next-METAR-
       station  search.  Please  see  the appropriate documentation in the Services_Weather_Metar
       class.
