- Introduction
-
- Welcome to QLink! This program is a communications program
- which can be used to download stock quotes from CompuServe. The
- program automatically dials CompuServe and saves the information
- into an ASCII file with an extension of ".tel". It then updates
- the appropriate data files from the information contained in the
- "*.tel" file.
-
- Since this program will only dial and logon to a direct
- CompuServe network connection this program also has the ability
- to process a CompuServe session saved as an ASCII file. This
- allows the program to update text files when CompuServe is used
- in a country with a different network connection.
-
- System Requirements
-
- QLink requires the following minimum configuration.
-
- An IBM Personal computer or strict compatible running
- MS-DOS or PC-DOS Version 2.0 or later.
-
- Two floppy disks or one floppy-disk and a hard disk.
-
- 320K RAM available memory.
-
- CGA, Hercules, EGA, or VGA Card.
