GetBeMoney, by Vastator

(Was originally called BeGetMoney, but props to BeKnaz/#beos for suggesting a better name)

Simple program. Written in one day (I'm exhausted and out of practice so it's been a very LONG day)
Loosely based on the BeOS stock ticker example by Dennis Cox (thanks!)

Quote server: quotes.nasdaq.com (straight from the source baby)

Usage: 

Launch from tracker or command line (usage there is GetBeMoney <refresh delay>, default 35 seconds)

Edit myquotes.txt to include whatever tickers you like.


Controls:
Up arrow - put ticker at top of screen
Down arrow - put ticker at bottom of screen
Right arrow - "hide" ticker as a small 5 pixel tall black strip at the bottom of the screen (up or down to restore it)
Left arrow - cycle font sizes
Grey +/- - speed control

Known bugs:
- Doesn't handle resolution switching too well.
- Has to go through a lot of text output to get to the quote.
- May crash after extended use, never ran it long enough to see =)
- Doesn't handle errors at all, so make sure you know what equity symbols you're looking for.
- I forgot the rest of them =)

Support:
- None. I wrote this for myself =) Well, ok, you can find me on efnet #bedev..

Future plans:
- None. This is as complete as I need it to be. Well ok, maybe when I find a way to grab ALL quote data from the server I can make a 'Movers and Shakers' ticker... but doubt it.

Let's see the source code:
- If I get around to cleaning it up, I'll include it. Nothing pisses me off more than released code that's uncommented and dirty...
