StockPager readme.txt

StockPager is a utility that periodically sends stock quotes to your
alphanumeric pager. Run StockPager on a PC that has access to the Net.
StockPager uses the Web to get the quotes you specify and sends them to
your pager using your PIN. You can specify how often you want the quotes
sent and whether or not you want them sent only during market trading hours.

When you register StockPager, you get rid of the registration notification
that may interrupt the notification cycle.

Some things to note about StockPager:

* I tested StockPager on Windows NT. It should run on Windows95, but I haven't
tested it.
* StockPager has options for PageNet alpha pagers (using
http://www.pagenet.com/sendpage/index.html) and MobileMedia alpha pagers
(using http://www.mobilemedia.com/message/). I have tested the PageNet option
(both nationwide and local San Jose) and they work. I haven't tested the
MobileMedia option.
* I use a Motorola alpha pager, and the text sent is formatted for this pager.
* I use a direct connection to the Net, so I'm not sure what StockPager does
with dialup access.
* The information provided is only as good and reliable as the Web sites that
provide the information or service.
* The quotes are delayed by at least fifteen minutes.
* The time used to determine market trading hours is based on Pacific Standard
Time.
* StockPager doesn't validate stock symbols. If the symbol you entered is
invalid, you will probably get an error in the page text.
* Information provided by StockPager is for informational purposes only. Use
the information provide by StockPager at your own risk. If you use StockPager,
you assume all responsibility for actions you take with the StockPager-provided
information.
