Walter, in the world of XL programmers that you frequent, has anybody automated
the process of downloading an internet EOD ascii data file into XL, order the
columns to fit requirements, and merge it into current metastock directories so
that the whole thing is reduced to a couple of WinScript actions?

The early availability of eod stock data from this site stockhistory.com
(updated every hour) makes the possibility of running system scans that much
earlier in the afternoon all the more attractive.
