     SYNOPSIS

     DESCRIPTION
          Radar uses US Government weather radar data and map overlays
          to generate (with the -t or -9 flags) or display a local
          radar image.  If station is given, and it matches an exist-
          ing station, then that station is displayed.  Otherwise
          station is consdered a place name and converted to a posi-
          tion with gmap(1). If there are in-range radar stations, the
          nearest one is selected.

          Radarloop continuously displays the current radar image.
