So, here's my first attempt at something useful for Plan9. It checks the METAR for a given airport:
#!/bin/rc if (~ $#1 0){ echo 'Usage: metar <ID>' exit } hget https://aviationweather.gov/adds/dataserver_current/current/metars.cache.csv.gz | \ gunzip -c | \ grep -i -e ^$1 | \ awk -F , '{print $1}'
