I'm not familiar with that one. I just read the pro version will dl 100
intraday futures stocks etc. from quotes.com and 10,000 daily from yahoo.
It still seems he is in need of a downloader which really complicates it.
Of course even if you had one how would you display it into a useable format
other than looking at an ascci file one by one. Even buying a used sc4 and
using the down loader for daily or intraday data is going to be cheaper than
Dial data's prices of 20 to 70 a month. In my case I'm saving 30 to 40 a
month for better data and a 10 minute penalty, after hours, for more data or
all of the data, instead of the bill and limited crappy data. No
affiliations with hquotes but it is the only one that has worked for me.

That's not a bad solution. Cheaper (time wise) than rolling your own
Perl or Python as we've been discussing.
I've an alternative for you to consider - buy Neoticker EOD - its only
40$ and it directly accesses Yahoo internet data.

You just point..

And pick the source. You can mix and match RT sources with end of day,
whatever (that really bugs me about TS7,8).
et voila:

I just started playing with a copy of Neoticker again - it seems to have
advanced steadily since I last looked at it in 2.x days. While its quite
different than Tradestation, most of the time NT doesn't seem to get in
the way.
Had not looked carefully at the download - just running it right now to
grab the SP500. The initial load as you can expect takes a little while,
but pulling the daily update down is quite fast.

It appears to access only the historical data on Yahoo - that source is
not updated for some hours after the close.
Anyway - it might be an option for some, for 40$ you get lots of data
options plus a real charting application as well. I know you can export
data from it but have not looked into that as neiter internet data nor
export are on my list of things I need personally.
I've had it bolted on to eSignal for a couple days and so far I like
almost all that I see. I really want to lobby for them to associate
drawing objects with a symbol (per chart window) rather than with the
Chart Window as is - seems like that's a "future" thing for them. It
does seem that they actually get the "future" things done however, which
is certainly refreshing.
ps for Barry: you do know that the data from Dial is not Ascii, but its
own format, right? FYI in case..
