Thanks for the tip. That would probably good although it seems a bit overkill to work with JSON objects. Fine for those used to playing at that level. One thing about Bank of Canada is that rates there are official for the Canadian tax dept. Actually, just now I have half solved the problem, for current rates at least. Just fishing around the site a bit more, I realized I can: wget -O - http://www.bankofcanada.ca/stats/assets/csv/fx-seven-day.csv and go from there. Nothing inspires like being public about wishes that one never got around to getting serious enough about, and then feeling a bit foolish. Still, something simple like that to get a table of long term historical rates would be nice as well.
