Odd.  I emailed this to the list back on the 26th and it only arrived
today.

In any event, I contacted support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx in the mean time and
received a prompt reply explaining that Yahoo stopped providing
historical data for OILB.L  back on June 9th 2006.   I'll know to check
that myself in the future.

Kudos to AmiBroker for a reply within 24 hours!
