Announcing the release of Xquote 2.0. This release contains
enhancements that allow separate servers for each ticker symbol,
improvements to parsing of penny stocks, and improvements to the popup
menus.
Check out the Xinvest home page at http://sunsite.auc.dk/xinvest/.
Here you can find the latest source and Linux binary along with other
helpful information on using Xquote and Xinvest.

What is Xquote?
- ----------------
Xquote is a WWW ticker symbol quote retrieval program for UNIX systems
using the X Window System. Xquote requires Motif 1.2 or later and XPM.
Xquote retrieves quotes from a number of net sources. It takes a ticker
symbol (stock, mutual fund, currency) and displays info in a table or
ticker tape. The table data displayed is selectable, and includes price,
date, change, volume, yield, 52 week high/low, day high/low, P/E,
dividend, full name, basically whatever can be reliably retrieved from
multiple sources.
The good part Xquote communicates this information to Xinvest
automatically (if its running).
New servers can be added without rebuilding, just update X resources and
the new server or format is supported.
Xquote supports X11R5 (CDE 1.x) and X11R6 session management. Xquote
will start off just as you left it! With manual session management, you
no longer need a session manager to save your ticker symbols and other
setup.
Hopefully, all of this is displayed using an easy-to-use,
point-and-click interface. There are few command line switches, no dot
files, and X resources are limited to color and font selection allowing
you to tailor the look of the tool to your own preferences.
