Jim,
there is a bug in your QuoteMonster Daily download. The following is today's
download. It's supposed to be for Nov 4, 1998. However, the month and day are
reversed. MetaStock expects the date to be yymmdd. Your QMD outputs yyddmm. If
anyone used the daily download to augment their MetaStock files, it would have
placed a record for April 11, 1998 (a Saturday). If anyone has been using your
QMD for any length of time with the Downloader, the valid data will have been
replaced with the wrong date. Please fix your QMD. You may also want to correct
the header order to match what it is below.
<ticker>,<date>,<open>,<high>,<low>,<close>,<vol>
