Warning: Cannot update personal dictionary (.ispell_english) Begin3 Title: update_funds Version: 0.6 Entered-date: 24JUL99 Description: This program can get .krs and .csv format files from the Internet. It will parse these files and extract close price and volume. It is designed to be used with the program xkra, which can display and analyze the data. xkra is also available from the site below. update_funds only gets the funds at the Amsterdam exchange, but can be modified to get funds from somewhere else. To install; Copy update_funds-0.6.tgz to your home directory tar -zxvf update_funds-0.6.tgz cd update_funds-0.6 Follow instructions in README. Difference with version-.5: Command line flag have changed, Makefile, of cause now I hacked the xxdata.CSV filename trick, so automatic download will work :) As the format and location of the data changes constantly, you may need C programming experience to use this software, and adapt it to your needs. I cannot promise I will keep hacking this, definitely looking for other sources, but the way I worked around the thing, by parsing the link in www.beurs.nl/download.html, is charming :) Keywords: funds, internet, financial, close price, volume, stock market, trade, hack (oops) Author: jan@panteltje.demon.nl Maintained-by: jan@panteltje.demon.nl Primary-site: http://www.panteltje.demon.nl/financial/ Alternate-site: sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/????
