Applications Management Engineer Sr (NYC) Next Step Systems US-NY-New York Post A Job | Post A Resume

SUMMARY

• Stock ticker application for North American and European exchanges
• Displays portfolio profit or loss for foreign and domestic stocks
• Firewall and proxy configuration possible for several common settings
• Fully configurable Perl/Tk program runs under Linux and some other OS using the Perl from ActiveState (www.activestate.com)
• Released under the GNU General Public License

CHANGES SINCE 0.6.0

• Added support for simple proxy firewalls via --proxy http://1.2.3.4:80
• Added support for account+password firewalls: info can be specified via cmd-line args or in a new "account / password" window
• Added test for previous_close != 0 to avoid potential division by zero
• Replaced destroy() with withdraw() for closing windows, seems to avoid triggering a segfault error which is presumably inside perl/tk
• Renamed option variables for clarity (yeah right)
• Added LNUX to default portfolio

CHANGES SINCE 0.5.2.

• Allow for additional specification of number of shares held as well as the (ISO) cross-currency pair to map into domestic monies
• Use this info to display net portfolio gain or loss in window title
• Additional option --wide, and menu selector, for `wide' display with per share gain or loss and total holdings
• menus now have underlined shortcuts for ALT-x
• more code cleanup
