LiveWire Professional is a
MS-DOS program made by
CableSoft. It was first introduced in 1988 as software/expansion board combination,[1] which allowed to convert
Financial News Network ticker from television receivers into
ASCII for further analysis.[2] The software is designed for stock brokers and financial analysts, allowing them to record and analyse the
stock market, through the use of live feeds. However, its user interface was criticized as cumbersome.[3]
