Rob,
Thanks for posting the detail. I have modified QuoteMonster Historical to
use this new data source. QMH is a FREE perl script for retrieval of
historical data for any number of tickers for the date range you specify.
You may change the order of the fields and include only those fields of
interest. I have not added code to reverse the date order but will be
uploading a script to perform that function only.
The QuoteMonster web page is at http://xmlworks.com/quotemonster/
Send bug reports to quotemonster@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Cheers,
Jim
