The problem is that 'realtime' is becoming/has become something other than real time data. Not that it's necessarily a problem, it's just not what I envisaged! I'd have called it something different if I'd known. And no, I would haven't called it
that... 
I don't propose to add anything that can be derived in PHP (or whatever) but the other two I'll do (at some point). For now I'll only be adding anything that I already have easily available.
I feel a bit mean turning down small requests when I'm in the middle of adding a completely new facility...

And if you were *really* feeling generous, I wouldn't mind having a new <#wchillTM> and <#TwchillTM> (low windchill & time) *and* equivalents in realtime.txt. Oh, and maybe <#humidexTM> and <#ThumidexTM> (high humidex).
I'll stop now.

Hi,
some tips
you can create your own realtime-bpsmicro.txt
you know the format, and the tags you need ~>
create a xxxx.txt file and put the tags in it, use cumulus internet extrafiles facility to process and upload the file in realtime
done
sample:
i.e.<value you need><space><value you need><space>, and so on
all in one line, and it should work (not tested)

Yes - of course. I never think of these things
You can create a custom realtime.txt file using any data for which a tag already exists.

Sweet. I'll play with that. Thanks for the tip.
