GNUCash for UK stocks and Unit Trusts

[Mike Asplin]

Hi Derek

	So are you saying that if I can find a quote for the UK OEIC on
yahoo then it won't be any problem getting the prices?  I'm assuming Yahoo
is supported.  Hopefully if I can get the perl issue resolved I'll be able
to confirm this.

Thanks

Mike

GnuCash uses Finance::Quote for retreiving quotes from online sources.
So the main question to you:   what website can you use to retreive
quotes for your securities?  The followup question:  is that website
supported by F::Q?
