RE: TC2000 Ver. 4.0

You might look at Quote Plus, it will ouptput ascii (US Stocks only). I know
quote.com has downloadable ascii files for as littles as $10.00 a month
(many markets).  I think TC2000 will output ascii and would be real cheap
for only tracking a couple issues.  I also remember seeing some FREE EOD
ascii for some us stocks out there somewhere too...

Quote.com has all the us and canadian.  I can't comment on futures...


BTW: If you can find this info on the web and know how to program look at
winbatch from http://www.windowware.com .  They have libraries to fetch web
pages and decent parsing capability.

Reuters doesn't have my cash, and I would gladly hand over some to anyone
who could send me data!

Except: I am a "small potatoes", personal, private investor, with a
        mathematics and computer background.

And:    1)  I only have two stocks, [both are still in private placement];
        2)  I generally trade [grant/write/sell] options in the future
markets.

And:    1)  My computer is NOT a PC or a MAC;
        2)  It doesn't use windows.
        3)  I am not the "standard" investor;
        4)  or the "standard" computer user;
        5)  "MY" software is written by ME in Fortran 77.

And:    1)  I only want simple ASCII, [prefer comma delimited] EOD data;
        2)  Sent as a packed e-mail attached file would be ideal.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Dan H.
