smtm-0.7.0 -- Show Me The Money, a global stock ticker

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
