[R-SIG-Finance] stock quotes

[davidr at rhotrading.com]

You can get (sort of) real-time quotes from NASDAQ and NYSE, e.g.:

http://www.nasdaq.com/aspx/nasdaqlastsale.aspx?symbol=MSFT&selected=MSFT

http://www.nyse.com/about/listed/lcddata.html?ticker=IBM

There remains to interface these with R; not sure it would be easy,
since they sell datafeeds for $$$$,
but for a small number of stocks you could get some intra-day data this
way.

Is there a way to get current (or even 15 minute delayed) stock quotes  
from the major exchanges? I know about get.hist.quote but is there a  
way to get current quotes?
