You might consider CompuServe as a data vendor in your case. $20.00 a
month (membership and metastock club fees) and current quotes are free.
You pay $.01 per quote for historical quotes but since you got the Data
CD you shouldn't need much history. You use The DownLoader and the
Internet or a local CompuServe number to automatically collect quotes.
