******************************************************************
StockMan is a stock market analysis tool. It allow you to summary,
watch, and analyze stock changes.
The Structure of StockMan:
=========================
1). Input
StockMan uses a data file(the default is sm_data.txt) as its
input information. When StockMan is run, it updates its
database file(the default is sm_db.sdb) using the infor from
sm_data.txt.
The best way to build the data file, sm_data.txt, is using
Compuserve's Quotes function.(Click at icon "Quotes" in WINCIM's
toolbar.)
To build sm_data.txt using WINCIM, you need to first add tickers
to the list box in Stock Quotes dialog in WINCIM. This package
include a file named quotes.dat for testing. To perform this test,
you can first backup your c:\cserve\support\quotes.dat and then replace
it with the one comes with StockMan package.
Next, you need to click at "Get All" button in Stock Quotes dialog in
WINCIM and save the result to the file named sm_data.txt in the
directory where sm.exe resides.
Finally, you can run StockMan.
2). Output
StockMan provides a variety of summary and analysis results:
On its main screen, it display the graphs of all the quotes in
the order you set in a user-defined period. This will give you
a brief summary about the today's stock information.
On its Table screen, a overall summary table shows the today's
quotes information in a user-defined sorted order. For example,
you may set the order to Change(%)- Descending to view which quote
has been up or down most.
You can view the graph of any listed quote by double clicking at
the row of the quote.
3). Alarm
The alram function allows you to watch quotes: the "Stock Table"
button and "Alarm" button will flash when the price of a watched
quote falls into the pre-set range.
