<DIV>Forgot to mention the millenium compliant ASCII file's header.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>The correct ASCII-file's date-column,&nbsp;but now millenium proof, should 
read as</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>&lt;DTYYYYMMDD&gt;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>as in the following complete and correct header :</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT

This is using MetaStock 6.52

I made a test to download data from Compuserve on the PRGN Nasdaq stock
quote history.

I have the following 2 problems with DLWin, while trying to download data
from Compuserve (direct Compuserve download from full downloader).

1- If I connect to Compuserve through the Internet (for instance using
Compuserve in PPP mode), and select 'Internet' as the 'Compuserve network',
it does not work: the downloader fails while trying to log on the Compuserve
network.

2- If I connect using the standard CIS network, it works fine except that...
I do not have the opening prices! (opening price is set to closing price).

Have other list members had similar problems using Compuserve.

Any help appreciated

Thank you

Laurent Gittler
