Communication Tricks & Traps
All-Quotes & GEnie
Since DOS does not accept a period (.) as a valid character in a
filename, substitute a underscore (_) in stock symbols.
To escape back to the main program when you are in a
communications session simply press <Esc>.
The program does not accept mutual funds quotes from GEnie.
Dial/Data
When typing in commodity symbols add a price factor to the end.
For example: The proper symbol for the September 1990 Standard &
Poors 500 stock index future is SA0990. Add the price factor of
two to the end to get SA09902. Look up the proper price factor
for each commodity future in the Dial/Data documentation. The
program will delete the two when it communicates with Dial/Data.
Some Index symbols start with an asterisk, please substitute the
"@" character instead.
For commodity futures with a space as its second character
substitute an underscore "_" (i.e. the commodity code for
Soybeans is "S ", substitute "S_").
