Built-in Metastock and Ascii Export. Time depends on # of issues exported.
If you have win 95 you can use their Virtual device driver which provides
virutal MS data which takes 0 time to update. Still a few quirks here but
its awesome for maintaining a large# of issues.

quoted at 6:00PM, usually by 6:30PM. This needs some tweaking...
> And what about historical data?
six years minimum.

> "unlimited"?
yes you get 10K US Stocks, Closed End Mutuals, Several Hundred Indexes, and
open end mutuals for an extra $3.00
> What does it cost?
depends on whether you use 800# or internet. $3.00 extra for mutuals. 10%
discount for 6mo, 15% for 12 mo.
I think the basic internet rate is 18.95 for stocks or 21.95 with mutuals...
software price varies on whether you own R1 but I beleive its still under
$50.
30 Day Trial, etc, etc...

Nope,
You also get IRL Weekly and Daily Indexes....

Here is an example scan...

if close(0)>=3 and close(0)<30 and
avgvol(0,-29)>25000 and
qrs(0) >= 85 and
((eps1growth >= 10 and

close(0)/(qtreps(0)+.0001)*.5) and

qtreps(0) >= qtreps(-1)*1.1 and
qtrrev(0) >= qtrrev(-1)*1.1 and
