Hi Barry,
I've been able to make good use of special tags offered by Yahoo to
download stock data:
http://www.gummy-stuff.org/Yahoo-data.htm
It looks like for the full name, you can use the 'n' tag. If you
have the list of tickers in Excel and have a little VBA knowledge, a
small crack program may be able to do the trick for you. Let me
know if you need help.
