Tomasz
I seems the source number for download source in amiquote 2.0 has
changed. Would you please provide new source numbers. The old one
were:
integer Source
allows to get/set the data source. There is a fixed number of data
sources available now and they are encoded as follows:
0 - Yahoo Historical
1 - Yahoo Current
2 - Lycos / Quote.com
3 - MSN Historical
4 - Forex
5 - Integratir
6 - Brite Futures

now Louis has asked in "Is it possible to run Amiquote
automatically". Here is how to get Amiquote to run by itself
from "outside" of Amibroker.

And call it, yuki.js and then save it. Then, double click yuki.js
and it'll run a bunch of stuff in amiquote automatically.

yuki.js at scheduled times (See ramvilas 's email from 5/22/08)
