Here are some of the output I just generated using the command:

perl qm 990401 990425

The ticker file has the entry ^dji

DJI,990429,10864.64,11052.49,10710,10878.38
DJI,990428,10806.22,11050.77,10665.9,10845.45
DJI,990427,10781.88,10977.46,10647.29,10831.71
DJI,990426,10721.17,10854.33,10540.47,10718.59
DJI,990423,10646.71,10858.34,10530.45,10689.67

Perhaps a good starting point would be to go back and install a fresh 
copy using the current version of qm. Capability to convert a 2 digit  
year representation to a 4 digit year has been added, e.g. 19990429.
Be sure to read the documentation of this feature in the script header.

Cheers,

Jim
