Well I am a little outdated, I guess.
Ok, how would I capture and process the input stream?
I haven't dealt with this kind of capturing before.
Only time I had to play with ports, was when I wrote a little bitty BASIC program to drive two plotters with one PC (AT 286).
why would you have to do full screen capture to get the share prices?
I didn't intend to capture the entire screen, just a window.
I thought I could bypass low level programming that way.
I know only 'C', Fortran, Clipper & AutoLISP. Which port do I open, & how?
Then how do I filter/process the input to extract the prices ? I have no idea about the format/data structure involved in video stram i/o.
And, thanks Nodsu.
BTW, as a new comer, I've tried to maintain a low profile (perhaps not low enough). But I was going to start a thread for
