heat index calculator that works with lynx the cat

[Sina Bahram]

I just looked at the site...yup, they are definitely using it as
exponential. It's easy enough actually, it just looks complicated, probably
to make some mathematician in a basement feel happy. If you code it, it
should work....don't even break up the terms if you don't want to...although
the code would be *fun* to read if you don't *grin*...happy hacking, and
give a haller if you need some help.

Take care,
Sina

Unfortunately, I can't find the formula anymore, other then the one in my
code, which I don't want to share, since it might be incorrect. I did do a
search on google, and came up with:

http://www.usatoday.com/weather/whicalc.htm

This differs from the formula that I used before. The good thing is that
here, they have an example of how it is worked out term by term. The bad
thing is their multiplication. Specifically, sometimes, they use "x",
sometimes they use "*" as the multiplication symbols. Also, in some places
they use a "**" without a number between the 2 "*" symbols, which doesn't
make sense to me, unless they're alternating between using prefix, and infix
notations in the same calculation, which wouldn't make sense. 

If someone is willing to clear up these 2 issues for me, I'll have another
go at rewriting my program with this new formula, and see how it does.
Thanks.
