- -v now prints version information
-error messages when not connected to the internet

v0.03 06-06-1999

	-shortform)
-added the --dldelay, --time2next, and the --reverse options
-made changes to the wget call in the perl script
-fixed the way the testqt.pl script is called (thanks to Thomas Ribbrock)

-no longer complains about deleting files on 1st execution (thanks to TR again)
-fixed the bug where any command-line args after -s were ignored
-added better error notification (in the window)
-made the --dldelay optional since the calls are not blocking it should not
	be needed anymore

 	found
-MAN PAGE!

v0.06 07-11-1999
-added the --newversion option to check for new software versions
-the program will now remove bad ticker symbols from the list...
-fixed a part of the xpm where it was gray with some black drawn in
-changed the command line handling to use the GNU getopt stuff (Thomas
	Ribbrock)
-some wget command line mods (Thomas Ribbrock)

v0.10 08-29-1999
-added the web browser feature
-beautified source
-rewrote main loop to use a select() and alarm()
-fixes in logic for bad ticker detection
-redid the system() call to getquote, by replacing it with a fork() & exec()
  also used a non-blocking wait.  in short, the program will now redraw better.
-changed the --delay option to take seconds, not minutes, (it was taking
  seconds anyway after the command line option rewrite, so all I changed was
  the docs to reflect that)
-fixed the right-click problem (it wasnt loading the correct stock)
-fixed the signal hanlder (alarm) routine to work properly on Solaris
  (the way it was written it should have never worked at all, but it did on
  Linux, so much for ANSI standards).

-various changes in the perl script, speed increases.
