The ASX's quotes Web pages are down today Saturday 31 Mar Australian 
Eastern Daylight Saving Time for "scheduled relocation of 
infrastructure". Expected to be back up at 1800 Saturday 31 Mar AEDST.

Attempts to fetch quotes from the ASX using Finance::Quote (eg a request 
for 
http://www.asx.com.au/asx/markets/priceLookup.do?by=asxCodes&asxCodes=BHP) 
redirect to a page giving the information about the ASX's downtime 
(http://maintenance.asx.com.au/index.html). This means that if you've 
set the Price Editor to retrieve quotes from the ASX, then they will 
also fail.

Stocks traded on the ASX still appear to be accessible from Yahoo 
Australia using
gnc-fq-dump yahoo_australia

I haven't been able to figure out what symbol to give to
gnc-fq-dump yahoo
to retrieve stocks traded on the ASX to check whether the quotes are 
available from Yahoo.
