[Webfunds-users] Trader-1-0-5

Sat, 18 Nov 2000 16:12:23 -0400

I've just loaded up Trader 1-0-5 on the Systemics site at

    http://www.systemics.com/download/README.html

Which sorts out a number of issues:

       * Unwound a systemically recursive bug to do with
       multiple SOX servers and mail... Not fixed, but
       ignored, so sorted out in the end by code that follows. 
       * Lots of cleanup on printing of numbers, so that prices
       and quantities are more consistent. Also, some
       classes have migrations built into them, but not yet
       activated. Lots more work to come. 
       * Now handles shares (actually, that requires
       WebFunds 1.7.4, not this upgrade). 
       * Market now trades pints of beer demo currency
       against the Glitter money. See the WebFunds cheat
       sheet for some explanation. 
       * Trader now accepts a default money listed in the
       market.loc file. Also, that money can have some traded
       contracts listed against it to add by default. Manually,
       one would create an account and add the Glitter first
       as it is the money. Then add the pints of beer second.
       Or, Trader would now do that automatically, assuming
       that the contracts are in the Contract Browser already.
       See the market.loc file for how it is done within this
       package. 

Once you have installed this version (download it and then use
the Plugins/UpgradesBrowser to add it), you can Rename your
account(s), which will then register this as a nickname at the
market. This will be displayed against any order, and you will
then be able to see other nicknames as well.

WebFunds is now on 1.7.4, you'll need that for Best Results (tm).

I'm hacking in some changes remotely so won't be terribly quick
to respond to any requests for a few more weeks.  For those
after some pints of beer, here are some:
