Stock Portfolio project starting

[Dennis Brown]

I have just decided that I need to write a stock portfolio reporting  
program in DreamCard.  Every canned program I have tried, does not  
show my portfolio in a way that is useful to me for making certain  
decisions.  I end up with several spreadsheets that I am hand  
updating every day --not the kind of thing a Rev programmer should  
have to put up with!

This will involve a new area of learning for me --I need to find a  
way to download realtime quotes from the internet every 5 minutes.   
Does anyone have any experience doing this, and can I get a few  
pointers about how to start to tackle it?

I also need to be able to run this stack at the same time I am  
running the DreamCard IDE.  I know that if I am running DC Player at  
the same time as DC IDE, the two interfere in some ways.  I was  
wondering if the StackRunner program also interferes with DC IDE if  
both are running?

I am doing this program for my own use (as opposed to for someone  
else).  Therefore, I am open to sharing my results as an example.

As always, any help is appreciated.
