synth3tk,

You and I are on the same page. If the OPR/DPR could be running in real time on a web server some place, then all a programmer would need to do is grab the data set for the desired regional and display it. Again, speaking from my limited programming skills, that doesn't seem to be too difficult.
(BTW, I might be able to put a server on line as well. I'll see if I can blow the dust out of it and bring it up in the next day or so.)

Bongle already has an app. that does the data gathering and processing. A scheduled set of batch files calling his app could be run on the server and the data could be automatically created, say once every 2-3 minutes. With that piece already working, the integration of the generated data should be "fairly simple".
