Joe,
Do you have the Reuters Downloader v.7.0 upgrade ? IMO they are now
giving first-class service. Fast downloads; no more code 800; automatic
corrections of data going back several days for most of the stocks; even
(I think) automatic symbol changes; updates to the symbol list at the
click of a mouse. Monitor some of the other lists and see what they say
about DialData and Telescan.
