This is easy enough to do: (1) download your free data (I'm a
futures/options trader &, when I'm feeling cheap, just grab the data from
Ira Epstein's site); (2) import the ASCII file into your word processor - I
use WordPerfect - a few easily written macros let one massage the data into
a comma delimited file (be sure to add the appropriate header); (3) save
this in ASCII format & use Downloader to convert the file. Whole process
takes 8-10 minutes.
