The weather program is a demo stript that gives an example of how to use expect.
In Red Hat and Fedora, this example program is either placed or linked in
/usr/bin.  Careful examination of my system which has expect installed shows
thatthe weather script as well as all other expect example scripts are located
in the more appropriate /usr/share/doc/expect/examples directory where they can
more easily be found.  If you want to use the weather script, there is no need
to install an alien package.  Simply

ln -s /usr/share/DOC/expect/examples/weather /usr/bin

Sorry for the late reply on this one, but it actually took me this long to find
the relevant info. ;-)
Thanks for the help. That's exactly what I wanted.
