Since 09 Sep, the Berkeley FTP Server has something new (and different to

offer) (?)

The "CPDN_2_2_23.exe", weigthing in at some 7.6MB...

Is : Win32 Climate Prediction Client, by University of Oxford...

I wonder if this is an error, and the Program got there by accident ?
Normally, the ftp://alien.ssl.berkeley.edu/pub/ Server holds only SETI

Clients, which

often take several days before being Linked on the HTML Download Page if

they are new.

AFAIK Berkely is co-operating with the UK Met Office and others in the
climate mapping
effort:-)
And you have to register to participate etc, think one map could take up to
8 weeks to do:-)

Only thing that concerns me is what profit some firms may try to make out of
it:-/ After all
a very accurate global weather mapping program would be worth a lot to firms
who supply
weather data to farmers, shipping etc.

Anyway I've yet to try it out, but I'll have a look in the forums they set
up via the UK Met
office and see what the score is before I do, they're a seperate
registration item..

Cheers,
