Rainfall Tracking Software

[KLINK]

I am looking for software to track my daily rainfall amounts. I would like
to enter the amounts and have the program give me a running total and a
weekly, monthly and yearly summary.

When I lived in Kansas, we did this by the number of turkeys who died
from drowning.

Or was that chickens?

I dunno.

I maintained rainfall records for five years using a spreadsheet
originally with Enable and then MSworks. Worked OK for me. I just
glanced at it and noted Dec 96 was 27" and the year total was 117".
It rained a lot in Oregon.

Enable? Now that goes back a bit! Mate of mine used it regularly,
15 or 20 years ago AFAICR. I *do* recall "borrowing" it -- took a
heap of floppies. But never got around to really trying to use
it. He swore by it while the rest of us swore *at* the corporate
choice.

30" in 24 hours is not unknown in the wet tropics around here. But
your 117" is getting up a bit. Averages along the coast here range
around 80" to 120" per year.


Cheers, Phred.

Thanks for the reply BoB. I am using MSWorks Data Base now. It works ok, but
I am looking for a program with a better looking GUI.

I didn't expect Enable to ring a bell with anyone. It was about
the only system available back then that had word processing, SS
and database capability for Win3.11. But then you may be familiar
with the fed gov't and 'lowest bidders' too.

Me too, actually. My original MSWorks won't install on Win98SE.
The old share.exe is missing and I don't want to risk trying to
kludge it onto my system.

I worked with Enable a very little bit many years ago when the owner of
the commercial photolab I worked at got a copy to run the bookeeping
records. Seem to recall it did what it was supposed to quite well for
them.
