3404.0. "Node Name/Number for Online Stock Quotation" by LJSRV2::HILL () Thu Sep 22 1994 15:07

    
    Does anyone know the node name or number for the online Digital 
    stock quotation?
    
    The former node 25.520 is either no longer online or missing.
    
    Thanks,

    The node I'm looking for was connected into the DOW and provided
    updates throughout the trading day.

Are you sure?  The one I'm familiar with is at 29.600::"0=QUOTE_V0"
and doesn't get its data from anywhere official; it simply reports
any random number which is entered by anyone in the company.

That is to say, its accuracy is dependent on the good will
of those who use it (which is a fine system, I'm not
denigrating it).

3404.5Copy the new quote programOASS::HIBBERT_PSomebody STOP! me.Thu Sep 22 1994 18:0113
If you are experiencing:

 $ run QUOTE_V0.EXE

 %SYSTEM-F-UNREACHABLE, remote node is not currently reachable

 $

Then

 $ SPOOL COPY/LOG 30296::DSA0:[QUOTE]QUOTE_V0.EXE SYS$LOGIN:QUOTE_V0.EXE

This is the newer version of quote.
