Thanks Mike -- I was already aware of those; the problem is there is
no formatted TFR data that I can download and parse programatically.
Whatever data is driving the graphical versions is what I'm interested
in -- it just seems to be under lock and key somewhere.

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, or what you're trying to do
ultimately.

I think you can still access DUATS via Telnet. If you access FDC NOTAMs
only on the DUAT site, the TFRs are listed first, so perhaps it's the same
via Telnet, but you may have to access each state individually and download
a lot of other FDC NOTAMs you don't need, but perhaps this is a solution
that might work for you.

The FAA NOTAM server is located at the FAA command center. The FAA doesn't
provide direct access. They disseminate the information via the tfr.faa.gov
web site and to 3rd party providers like GTE DUAT and CSC DUATS. How AOPA
and other providers get the information is anyone's guess, but I suspect
they get it via Telnet from one of the 3rd party providers.
