I've been with CompuServe for years now and while I'm not happy with the
costs, I was able to work with them several years ago and clean up their
methodology in loading their nightly files (I was Sr. VP of Application
Development for a $13B S&L and understand the need for controls <G>). After
a few problems, we really haven't had much of a problem since.
I download 25 futures and indices and about 3 stocks without a problem,
daily. Usually have to wait for 4PM PST in order to get Light Crude and the
S&P future prices.
Regards
Guy
