<DIV></FONT>This will get you directly to the MSQuote page, then Press the 
&quot;Download&quot;</DIV>
<DIV>link and it will download the MSQuote.zip file (1.46Mb). However, 
Website</DIV>
<DIV>is mainly in Dutch (so see an English version below).</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Program is FREE and in English.</DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Quotes are FREE and from Yahoo.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>All US exchanges' quotes are mainly retrieved from Yahoo's sites and that 
is</DIV>
<DIV>if you don't mind Yahoo's poor 'quality'. BUT not to forget, also for 
FREE.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>So my idea &quot;forwards&quot; to FIBBS's Quoteweb is to have the EUROland 
exchanges'</DIV>
<DIV>quotes for FREE available as well. And as MSQuote is such a fine, simple 
and easy</DIV>
<DIV>to use great peace of software, have the Quoteweb's site available in 
English too,</DIV>
<DIV>accessable for all International Metastock users(and other programs users 
too ofcourse). </DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#800000>Download index quotes and American quotes via 
<A name=MSQuote>MSQuote</A></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Msquote is an utility to automatically download index quotes in MetaStock 
ASCII format.</DIV>
<DIV>As well, it will provide you the entry to most of the American stocks. This 
is how it works:</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>-In the Field &quot;symbols&quot; fill in the stocks' symbols for your 
securities to be updated and</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;separate these ticker symbols by spaces(see 
GIF).</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>-Next Press the &quot;update&quot; button.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>-In the folder in the Field &quot;Save as MetaStock format&quot; a file be 
made for example, with</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp; a name 19990108.prn and t<FONT size=2><FONT size=3>o change 
'save to' folders, </FONT><FONT size=3>just select another 
folder</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=3>&nbsp;&nbsp; (single/double click as is common in 
Windows programs).</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=3></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>-This file can then be directly converted in the MetaStock's 
Downloader.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>-Security tickers and their symbols can be searched for via: <STRONG><A 
href="http://quote.yahoo.com/l";>http://quote.yahoo.com/l</A></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>If you have any ideas on how to improve the program or have any 
other/further questions</DIV>
<DIV>etc. etc.</DIV>
