yics(6) Games Manual yics(6)NAME
yics - Yahoo! Chess client for use with FICS interfaces
SYNOPSIS
yics [ -l logfile ]
DESCRIPTION
YICS connects to the free Yahoo! Chess lobbies and emulates a FICS server. It can be used with most FICS interfaces (xboard(6), for exam-
ple) to play on Yahoo! Chess.
OPTIONS
YICS currently accepts only one option:
-l logfile
Saves a connection log (excluding login information) to logfile, which can be attached to a bug report if requested by the author.
COMMAND REFERENCE
A reference of commands, and other useful documentation, may be found on the YICS wiki: <http://wiki.yics.org>.
YICS AS A HELPER PROGRAM
YICS was designed to be used as a helper program with FICS interfaces. With xboard the use is fairly straightforward:
xboard -ics -icshost Yahoo -icshelper yics
Note that the parameter to -icshost has no effect, aside from setting the xboard title. eboard is a little tricky, but can be done:
ln -s $(which yics) timeseal.$(uname -s) ; eboard
Choose "Peer > Connect to FICS" in eboard to connect.
SEE ALSO xboard(6).

Finance::Quote::Yahoo::NZ(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Finance::Quote::Yahoo::NZ(3)NAME
Finance::Quote::Yahoo::NZ - Fetch nzn stock quotes via Yahoo.
SYNOPSIS
use Finance::Quote;
my $q = Finance::Quote->new;
my %info = $q->fetch("yahoo_nz","DPC"); # Use this module only.
my %info = $q->fetch("nz","DPC"); # Failover with other methods.
DESCRIPTION
This module allows information to be fetched from Yahoo about stocks traded on the New Zealand Stock Exchange. Information about indexes
is not available through this module.
This module is loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object, although it can be explicitly loaded by passing the argument "Yahoo::nz" to
Finance::Quote->new().
This module provides only the "yahoo_nz" fetch methods. The author (stephen@vital.org.nz) will write a module to access the NZX site if
asked nicely.
Information obtained via this module is governed by Yahoo's terms and conditions, see http://au.finance.yahoo.com/ for more details.
LABELS RETURNED
This module returns all the standard labels (where available) provided by Yahoo, as well as the currency label. See
Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Base for more information.
