This is a program that I wrote many years ago when i had a spectrum 128. I have translated it into many different forms of basic. So I thought i would have a go at translating it into JB.
This is not the finished version but it runs eventhough some features do not work.
Any comments would be appreciated
Thank you

Nice game! I couldn't seem to make any money, though, even when i should have been up.

Here is the latest version of this game. There are quite a few modifications in this version.
The password for the .zip file is "stockmarket"

Another Update for this game.
I notice an error in the way I was working out the average price per share when issuing a bonus issue. This, I think, has now been rectified.
If any of you think otherwise then please tell me.
Stockmarket.

Sorry for the delay in updating this file.
I have made quite a few changes since the last update and working some of these out has taken some time.
I have altered the method of printing info on the market screen. This was for 2 reasons
1 Eventually I intend to have 10 markets. The way I was printing info was to call a label for each separate market with the appropiate info in the label.
2. Now each market label only has 3 or 4 lines and then calls another label to print the info. This will result in a much smaller program in the long term.
Have also added a graphic box for the tica news

Latest version now available.
Most of this is cosmetic to give the program a nice look.

Hi Roger,
When I try to unzip your file, it doesn't work for the BMP files Only the .bas file gets unzipped. I tried with Winrar and Iceows.

You need to get the bmps from the previous version which needs "stockmarket" as the password to unzip. Put the bmp's in a bmp folder in the folder you unzip the.bas file to. Maybe Roger could spend some time and zip both the .bas and bmps together in a new zip without the password. It would help novices having alook at his program.

Hopefully I have done as Rod suggested.
Made 1 big .zip file including all files needed and hopefully woth no password.

My apologies to all of you who tried downloading the game and failed to get the bmp's.
I was on holiday last week at my daughters and asked her to post the file to the site. I didnot realise that she did not post the Bmp's as well.
I have rezipped the file and included all the necessary files and bmp's.
Once again sorry about this.
No password should be necessary now. That is another thing I have learnt how to do.
