<DIV> (I wonder if the Yahoo's date sequence " yy " will
get adjusted to " yyyy " for millenium complience)</DIV>
<DIV>-It will then automaticaly return a " xxx.csv " file wich needs a
minor adjusting(eg adding</DIV>
<DIV> the Metastocks period "comma-D-comma" ( ,D, )
overhaul in Excel, adjust the columns, then</DIV>
<DIV> save as txt(or csv) file and open in Word for the
overhaul to remove the (any blanc) spaces,</DIV>

<DIV>-And, this as I haven't tried switching the " a,b,c " parts into

<DIV> of colom layout it will send or if it will return an error,
but this should not be a problem to try</DIV>
<DIV> out at first, otherwise the before mentioned very tiny
overhaul in Excel/Word is required</DIV>
<DIV>-Attached are some (not all) of the symbols available (as of mid 1998),
there are more indexes</DIV>
<DIV> available, eg like funds + stocks + sector symbols,
grouped per sector and many are available</DIV>
<DIV> from Exchanges around the globe</DIV>
<DIV>-The Tickers can also very well and easy be used in the (Metastock)
QuoteManager v1.01 program, </DIV>
<DIV> and use the spaces to seperate them(before downloading).
Rename the auto saved prn-file to txt-file</DIV>
<DIV> and run the Downloader.</DIV></DIV>

<DIV>Subject: RE: data download template</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>>Lionel,<BR>><BR>>Yahoo can provide you with data in
"csv" format for a range of dates.<BR>><BR>>Here's how you do
that manually (I'm trying to figure out how to<BR>>automate
it):<BR>><BR>>Get a quote on a symbol. make sure you get one of the
"Views" that<BR>>shows the "More Info" box. In that box
click the "Chart" link. You'll<BR>>then get a graph and below that
you'll see options for: "Small",<BR>>"Big", and
"Table". The "Table" options are "daily",
weekly",<BR>>"monthly", "dividends". Each of the
first 3 will give you historical<BR>>quotes based on the respective time
period. So, if you're looking for<BR>>daily historical quotes then click the
"daily" link. You'll then get a<BR>>nice table which you can adjust
for date range. At the bottom of the<BR>>table is a link "Download
Spreadsheet Format" which will do as it<BR>>says.<BR>><BR>>I've
been working trying to crack the Yahoo "code" used to
download<BR>>this data.<BR>><BR>>For instance code to download
historical data for Ge from 12/31/97<BR>>thru 3/17/99 would
be:<BR>><BR>><A
href="http://chart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=ge&a=12&b=31&c=97&d=3&e=17&f=99&g=d";>http://chart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=ge&a=12&b=31&c=97&d=3&e=17&f=99&g=d</A><BR>>&q=q&y<BR>><BR>>Of
course, some of this code is obvious. And some of it
isn't...<BR>><BR>>Anyone cracked the Yahoo code?<BR>><BR>>Dale
