    <title>Introduction</title>
    <p>Where I work we need to compensate certain data against the current absolute barometric pressure. The nearby airport reports this regularly, but gives the sea-level equivalent not compensated for geographic elevation.</p>

  <section>
    <title>Tracking Barometric Pressure</title>
    <p>Suppose you need to know the current barometric pressure, compensated to absolute for your elevation. This script will provide it for you. It displays the readings in a GUI and also records to a file.</p>

    <title>Download</title>
    
    <p>Remember to edit the extension from <code>*.txt</code> to <code>*.pl</code> after downloading a Perl script. The <code>*.txt</code> extension is necessary to insure that the web server will present these files to you as plain ASCII when you click their download buttons.</p>
    
    <!--
    
    Dear Maintainer,
    
    Please note! Within the original maintenance directory, the *.txt extensions are not used.
    Therein the original, bare *.pl and *.csv extensions are in force. So perform uploads to
    any web servers via FTP as below...
    
    ftp> put foo.pl foo.txt
    ftp> put foo.csv foo.txt
    
    ...and so forth or the download links in this text will break.
