- Stable - Data Assistant provides a set of highly flexible data
- management functions for retrieving and maintaining your financial
- ASCII data files in the Windows 3.1 environment. This product

- CompuServe - saving you both time and money in maintaining your

- File maintenance functions allow you to create, modify, and merge

- you to create and process your own communication scripts. Data
- Assistant is a companion product to Stable - Technical Graphs,
- but can be used with other products that make use of ASCII
- financial information.
-
- Automated Data Update is performed using the CompuServe data
- service. By far the most important feature of Data Assistant,
- automated data update can save you time and money every day.
- Data Assistant establishes communications with CompuServe,
- retrieves your financial data symbol(s), logs off from CompuServe,
- and updates your ASCII financial data automatically and
- conveniently.
-
- Manual Data Update is supported through dialog box prompting.
- This alleviates the need to write special programs that update
- your ASCII data files - or to manually edit your files using a
- text editor. After establishing the financial symbols and
- associated data files you want to maintain, Data Assistant prompts
- you for the daily figures and automatically updates your ASCII
- data files.
-
- Data File Maintenance provides you with a wide variety of data
- maintenance functions for managing your historical ASCII data
- files. With this capability, you can:
-
- o Create new ASCII data files.
- o Modify the contents/format of your existing ASCII data files.
- o Merge several ASCII data files together into one file.
- o Perform data verification on your ASCII data files.
- o Adjust your ASCII data files for splits and dividends.
-
- Script File Processing for automating communication sessions with
- remote systems via the modem is also available through a
- communications terminal. This feature is how Stable Data Assistant
- performs automated retrieval. You too can take advantage of this
- processing feature by writing your own communication scripts for
- almost any personal need or requirement.
