I looked and it isn't there... Such tools can come in handy, as an example I just downloaded some excel tables from a http site, where I took the actual index for some company shares. Then transfer it into the accounting server I am writing, and used the accounting client to display a line chart of the index of the company I was interested in. No need to keep your fingers on a Dynosaur like web browser to hop from one site to the next over slow links to get that info. Just have it automatically transferred to your machine, then have a script pin out the information you're interested in and put it into your books... That's Unix :-) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
