   Underclocked?  Gotta respect a guy who conserves hardware.  Many
thanks for the data point.  FIX stands for "FInancial eXchange" and
it is probably the most prevalent standard for interchange of data
in the trading markets.  The QuickFIX project aims to provide a free
implementation of the standard, and from what I've determined, has
in fact accomplished that.  A lot of big players use it.  It handles
the work of maintaining socket connections, heartbeats, sessions,
packing and unpacking of messages in the standard format, transforms
to XML, etc.  *Very* nice piece of work.  It has been a major help
to us.  I've been trying to give back with bug reports, etc.

thanks again,
Jim
