Hello, Terry:

Good to hear from you, Terry! Are you still computing on a boat? ;^)

I guess that the other un-named fields are trades, previous open, previous
close? This is one of the problems with text data - there is no real standard
format. Every supplier seems to have its own way of doing things. I do have
an idea as to how this might be done generically, though.

Since this is subscription data, give me some (5) complete samples, and I will
see what I can do. Include all formats or headers and any secondary files, too.
Since you have more than one source, if you can, do it for all of them, please.

The header above has tickers, but does any data include the full name, too?

Do you have a data source that includes corrections for yesterday's data?

Do any suppliers include indices?

You remember the routine... lots of questions, lots of thinking. Since you will
be
paying for it, you may as well use the best data out of the three.
