To OS/2 & eCS Programmers,
Recently, it came to my attention that the author of Frobozz
Investor had ceased development of this program in 1997-8. In
subsequent correspondence with the author, it was felt that
the loss of this fine program to the OS/2 community was
regrettable. In order to revive it, the author offered to
donate the source code to any programmer or team of
programmers under the standard GNU GPL licensing
agreement(s), who would agree to update this program for
OS/2 Warp and eComStation using a new name as well as
maintain support and would apply said licensing agreement(s)
to any port of said program to any operating system. To
assist such a project, Adrian Gschwend of netlabs.org has
offered the use of a website and CVS for the source code.
The author's description of the program in 1997 is as follows:
"Frobozz Investor is the complete investment package for the
active OS/2 investor. The application contains modules for
fund tracking, portfolio management and technical analysis.
Investor also provides an extensive Rexx interface and
download capabilities through CompuServe."
This program was written in C, built using Gpf and contains
both DDE and REXX interfacing, as noted. A copy of version
1.50 is available on Hobbes at
<http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/money/invest.zip>.
If you are willing to meet the above criteria, please contact
me before March 24, 2003 with a brief summary of your
interest, background and plans for this program, using the
address and subject below. Submissions will be sent to the
author for his perusal, kept strictly confidential and answered
by me within 1-2 week(s) of the above closing date.
