Mike,
You CAN get BOTH a page of data and download data in ASCII form from
Yahoo. The former is at:
http://chart.yahoo.com/t?a=01&b=01&c=77&d=12&e=31&f=98&g=d&s=&y=0&z=f
The latter is possible using a program called "QuoteMonster":
http://xmlworks.com/quotemonster/
QuoteMonster comes in 2 forms: Java and PERL. I use the PERL version. I
haven't used it since 6/28/2002 so I just updated my Yahoo data with QM.
It is not easy to use and it has a new bug which I had to deal with.
Still, I was able to incorporate the data again. I do not normally Yahoo
data.
If you use the PERL version, you must also download the PERL distribution
binary, a 20 MB ZIP file. It's a bit of a hassle to set up if you haven't
dealt with old programming languages.

Please do not ask me how to set up PERL or QM.
Daniel.
