3557.0. "Why doesn't stock.exe work?" by TOOK::MORRISON (Bob M. LKG1-3/A11 226-7570) Tue Dec 06 1994 22:30

  Ever since last Thurs., when the Digital stock plan bought its stock and
thousands of DECcies quickly sold it, I have been unable to get a stock quote
via stock.exe. I more or less expected this to happen for a day or two due to
the massive demand for this info, but it now seems that something else is
wrong. I also can't access SUBWAY::DIGITAL_INVESTING, so can't ask this quest-
ion there.
  Is there a single node handling stock.exe for the entire company? Since this
is an exe file, I can't read it to figure out where it points to.
  On Thurs. at the height of the rush, one of my coworkers was able to get an
up-to-date quote on Digital (and other) stock via WWW. Does anyone know what
the URL is for this service?

    An up-to-date quote (with day low/high, volume etc.) can be found on

    (The page mentioned in .1 has a link to it).

        DIGITAL_INVESTING is on NYOSS1::
        
        If stock.exe is the same as quote_v0.exe you probably need the
        new version from DIODE::DSA0:[QUOTE]QUOTE_V0.EXE  (note 322).
        
        I have experienced no problems from either the conference or
        the quote program during the selling period.

  I was trying to access DIGITAL_INVESTING on an out-of-date node, and I appar-
ently had an obsolete copy of the stock quote program. I am all set now.
