[GNC] finance quote - % not recognised as a currency.

[Ken Farley]

If it was me, I'd look into writing a bit of Perl code that can provide 
you a quote in the GBP currency you wish. It would just need to call the 
AEX source, change the "%" to "GBP" and give the "proper" quote as a 
result. I had to do this for a company stock ownership plan that was 
forced upon us. It used the corporate security, but bundled into a 
pseudo mutual fund that had a weird conversion from the real world quote 
to the fund's price (something like <COMPANY STOCK> * 1.122435 = <FUND 
NAV>). Squirrely, yes?

Anyway, that's a relatively simple way to get what you need without 
having to wait for someone to implement changes. I doubt, unless it is a 
generally accepted currency symbol, that they will want to add it as a 
currency. What I remember of this kind of thing is they try to stick 
with "official" currency symbols specified by some sort of standard or 
some such.
