Yes - kinda....

You can download prices from quote.com "live" or "basic charts" in ascii (text
comma delimited)  format.
But you have to massage the data before you can import it using the downloader.
The downloader requires the columns to be in a different format and 1 or 2
columns of data needs to be removed.  I think it was the "time or day" column.

I was just playing around with this 2 nights ago.  I decided to write a VB
program that will ask for a stock symbol and download the prices from quote.com
using a web browser built-in to my VB program, then saving the information in a
comma delimited text file compatible with the Downloader.   (not finished yet)
