Weather Alert program.

I used to use a Windows program called InterWarn which would
download new weather alerts for Arizona from the National Weather Service,
sound an alert and then e-mail the new alert.  (It really does a bit more,
but that's what I'm mostly interested in.) It could search for new alerts
as little as every 1 minute to as much as every 60 minutes.

My problem is that it won't run in RedHat 7.3 with winelauncher.
Something about not being able to access a visual basic DLL.
The program and DLL file are on my Windows 98 SE partition.

Is there a way I can get this program to run in RedHat or is there
a Linux program (preferably an rpm file) that will do what I need?

I have looked through SourceForge and a few other sites with no luck.
If I can't get InterWarn to work or find an acceptable substitute,
I'll have to discontinue my Az Weather Alerts List which I don't want to 
do.

Thanks in advance.
