time users the experience of uploading weather

image simply click on the Test button of Publisher
and the image is exported to the server.
Notes for operating
Publisher:
- If the Heavy Weather or the Publisher applications
are installed outside the C:\HeavyWeather
directory, then please the map the 'currdat.lst'
file to your new directory in the Publisher
