I use a perl script to massage my EOD data, which is orders of magnitude
faster.
I'd be happy to write one for you if you show me your input and what you want
as output. If you need perl, let me know that; I can show you where to get it
for '95/98/NT.
I think the guy who wrote QuoteMonster (apologies if I have the name wrong)
uploaded a script to do this sort of thing too.
