RE: [system-traders] Can't open ..\data/13000.txt on Windows

["Gabor Grothendieck" <ggrothendieck AT myway.com>]

It seems that in the Windows distribution there is no
..\data directory (relative to scripts) and the data directory
that is distributed is located elsewhere in the tree and
has alcatel.txt but no 13000.txt .  If within scripts I create
..\data and place alcatel.txt in that then the script works if
I replace 13000 with alcatel.

Also I found that the the genius trader instructions for testing
imagemagick on Windows say to issue the display command but that 
gives an X Windows error and I think it should be imdisplay 
instead.

I downloaded gtwin.zip (i.e. geniustrader for windows) and
tried to issue the command that the instructions say tests it
but I get "Can't open ..\data/13000.txt: No such file or directory"
as seen below.

I put some print statements around the statement

my $q = $db->get_prices($code);

in backtest.pl which seem to pinpoint it to that. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
