Don,
So far, the data I have seen has been straight ascii text and no dates
have been missing. In the interest of helping Yahoo get the bugs worked
out in their system, which will be to everyones benefit, if you encounter
an error in the data or note a miscalculation in split info etc. please
post the details so they can be verified and reported. Free, long range
historical data is an important resource. It is not in Yahoo's interest
that it be incaccurate. Let's help them sort the bugs out so it can be
useful information to everyone.
Cheers,
Jim
