Marianne,

I have used Teletext (BBC Ceefax) in the past for obtaining price data, but
not in conjunction with Metastock. Most decoder progrmas will produce an
ASCII file containg either the screen text or, better still, a list of
prices and company name. To write a program to convert these to a Metastock
format should be easy, or you could do it in Excel a little less
efficiently.

Personally, if your Teletext is like that in the UK, you will only get mid
prices, drastically restricting the usefulness of Metastock. Also as a data
feed, Teletext is terrible, since the slightest atmospheric disturbance
will result in missing pages or the odd gap on the screen. If  I were you I
would try someone like PCQuote Europe instead.

Simon
