David,
Sorry for the typos, I should have tested first. Then I would have realized
that of course price-quotes.scm eats gnc-fq-helper’s stdout--that’s after all
how it gets the quotes. Unfortunately it seems also to send stderr to /dev/null
so that approach won’t work without changing price-quotes.scm.
Regards,
John Ralls
