Exch
Exch is a small utility written in XUL and JavaScript. It can either be installed as a Firefox 1.5 extension (*note* the Firefox extension is currently the most up-to-date version of Exch), or as a desktop application that utilizes the XULRunner runtime. It allows the user to enter two currencies and get them converted from one to the other using data obtained from Yahoo! Finance.
As much as Exch is an exercise in XUL development, and an example of XUL to others, it is quite useful also!
The information obtained is only as accurate as what Yahoo! Finance provides -and- is the same information that can be obtained from http://finance.yahoo.com/currency.
