Perl scripts are typically run from the command line so you can see 
errors and warnings, type input, etc. I realize this may make some 
Windows users with little command line experience uncomfortable, and may 
add a Tcl/Tk interface some time in the future. The programs were 
originally written in VB 5.0 and were on the order of 6 MB(!) in size. 
Problems encountered included differences in dial-up networking between 
NT and Win95 and much time was spent on maintenance. Now the programs are 
just a few KB in size and my time can be spent on new, more powerful scripts.

>From the user's perspective, the task of setting the programs up may seem 
daunting at first. However, the area of the scripts the user modifies are 
clearly delineated and there are (hopefully) clear instructions on how to 
make the modifications. I expect the user to read all of the instructions 
in order to gain any benefit from the programs. Sufficient flexibility 
has been incorporated to permit downloading data of a specific date 
range, and of several tickers in one operation, ordering the output as 
needed.

If anyone who is using these scripts has suggestions for clearer 
documentation, please send them along.

My next planned release of free software will be MarketAlert. This script 
checks quotes during the day and will send alerts to your pager or email 
you if the stocks in your watch list exceed a percentage limit. Look for 
it in the next couple of weeks.

TA Question: Does anyone care to comment on the CPQ chart? I bought on 
the last dip ca. 25. This one has been pretty cyclical. Is it going to 
turn at this point or continue on to ca. 35? 

Cheers,

Jim
