I don't know but will check.  However, even if it 
can I still have a problem since I use the data for other programs that 
understand a variety of formats, including Metastock, CSI, and ASCII. In 
the next couple of months I will be shifting from my current data provider 
(eSignal) to another and am trying to ascertain if Yahoo can satisfy my needs, 
or if I need a pay-for-data supplier.  I have not heard any concerns 
expressed about the quality of Yahoo's data, which does not surprise me as I am 
relatively certain that they get their data from CSI, which the trading media 
rates as the most reliable.  As a result, if I do not go with Yahoo, Iwill 
probably go with CSI's Unfair Advantage whose downloader exports into virtually 
any format.

Nate:
 
In contrast to stock and index data, have you 
found a way to obtain historical mutual fund data or just daily?  
Perhaps you have not tried to download historical yet (would be worthwhile 
checking if this is the case).  Reports from the dCenter downloader 
people indicate that it cannot be done.  Strange since historical 
mutual fund data can be downloaded into a spreadsheet, but I guess not into 
data files used by charting programs.  If spreadsheets can be supported 
from a historical database, I cannot understand why charting program data 
files are not.  But then I gave up trying to understand the cyberworld 
after programs became too complex for Basic back when dinasaurs roamed the 
earth ;-)

I download from Yahoo each evening around 9 to 9:30 PM 
Eastern time.Earlier quotes are available, but in  a large 
database, many quotes willnot have been updated. Mutual fund quotes 
are not generally posted untilmuch later, so I retrieve those the 
following day.Nate BergerAt 10:31 AM 5/25/01 -0000,
