FYI to all interested.. I'm still working on fixing up the symbol
translation files.. should be done in the next 2 days... takes a
little while to whack yahoo and msn to get the info.
I found that quite a number of stocks from the csi data list for
nasdaq were changed to OTC stocks.. hence different symbols for yahoo
and msn.
