[amibroker] NEWBY NEEDS THE LIST OF US STOCKS.

["mrdavis9" <mrdavis9@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried to go to  the link below in order to 
get the Amibroker provided list of US STOCKS.   Below, I have copied 
the instructions for how to do it.  I successfully downloaded the list, but 
when I tried to open it, I got the following error: "Could not read SFX info, it 
is likely corrupted"  I am just strating out, and am somewhat computer 
challenged, and I need help. I really think this is not my fault, but possibly 
corrupted data as the error window said.  All help will  be 
appreciated. Maybe another  Amibroker user can send this list of US stocks 
to me directly in an email attachment, assuming the file is not too large.  
My address is mrdavis9@xxxxxxxxxx 
.  The link that I used follows immediately below.    Ron

  HOWTO: Setup complete US stocks database using 
  Yahoo free quotes.
  Introduction
  
    The purpose of this document is to explain how to 
    use AmiQuote and AmiBroker to build complete US stocks database using free 
    quotes from Yahoo finance sites. AmiQuote is a companion program to 
    AmiBroker stock charting/analysis software. 
  Requirements
  
    You will need REGISTERED 
    AmiBroker version 4.00 or higher and AmiQuote 1.4x installed. 
    (Trial version of AmiBroker is not enough for this purpose because it does 
    not save the database)
  Installing template
  
    To make things easier we have created a template 
    database that contains 7700+ US symbols with full names and appropriate 
    assignments to market, group, sector/industry already created. The template 
    does not however contain any quotes so after installing it we will need to 
    download historical quotes.
    First you have to download self-extracting 
    archive of US-Stocks template from here: <A 
    href="">USStocksTemplate.exe 
    (190KB)
    Then you should run the extactor and you will see 
    the following screen:
    <IMG height=386 src="gif00110.gif" 
    width=503>
    Now click on Next and choose choose 
    the directory where you want to extract the database (you can simply accept 
    default location of C:\Program Files\AmiBroker\US-Stocks). Then click 
    Next and the database will be created in the location of your 
    choice:
    <IMG height=386 src="gif00111.gif" 
    width=503>
