// This method of specifying and decoding Web Pages has been chosen to make it

// Some users may not wish to get into this level of detail, and others may find
// it easy to use this specifying/formatting scheme to add new pages to your
// daily downloads, or just to keep up with changes.
// If you do not wish modify these files, pre-defined files and updates may become
// available in the near future.

// Output format:
// If none is specified, the format will be:
// Date Hi Low Close Volume Time
//OutputFormat=Date Open Hi Low Close Volume Time
OutputFormat=Date Hi Low Close Volume Time
// fields will be delimeted by fill spaces to the following positions by default:

// the next entry must define the download method.
// the entry will be either "by_page" or "by_quote"
// "by_page" means the page inherently defines the quote information which will be received.
// these are usually index pages which are predefined.
// "by_quote" means the quote requests will be appended from the .qtl file automatically
by_quote
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// the next entry tells MAWIN what delimeter character to add between appended quote symbols
// for example:
// www2.merrill-lynch.ml.com/htbin/indlink?tick=dis,hd,xrx,spq
// could be a valid request for this page, and the delimeter ',' is used
// other sites may use '+' or other characters as a delimeter
+
// (to determine what delimeter is used, bring up the page using your Web Browser,
// request your stock quotes, and observe the delimeter used...usually shown in the
// top text field of your Browser, as a part of the URL.)
// if the method is "by_page", enter nothing here; MAWIN will skip this field
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// next, tell MAWIN what character string to look for as a trigger to begin looking for quotes.
// if you decide to customize your own download site, you can pick this string by first bringing
// up the site using a Web Browser, and use "file save" to save the .htm image of the page.
// then, examine the .htm file using any good text editor, such as WordPad, or Notepad.
// first look for a string which will be used as a trigger to begin looking for quotes.
// for this page, there are two types of quotes. The first trigger phrase is:
Stock Quotes
CorrelateBy=Symbol // specify how to correlate quote to quotefile (default)
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// next, enter the trigger string which indicates the start of a quote
// for this type, it is:
<TD ALIGN=LEFT>
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// MAWIN will automatically find quote data fields as specified by format keywords herein:
// The keywords which may be used are:
// Numeric Keyword Identifiers:
// Hi, Low, Bid, Ask, Open, Close, Prev, Change, Volume, Date, PE_Ratio, Dividend, Earnings, and Temp
// "Temp" will be available to be used to store/handle throwaway numerics between quote data
// "Temp" may be used multiple times
// Textual Keyword Identifiers:
// Symbol, Co_name, Time
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// for this file/site, the parsing commands are:
9 // lines per quote
AutoDate // will search for date field and remove before processing quote
//NoDate // Do Not look for Date field (none or manual specify)
Symbol Time Open Hi Low Close Change Volume
// up to 20 identifier types per quote may be specified
// modifiers may be needed, to make adjustments of scale, such as this case where volume is
// quoted in 1000's of shares, and must be adjusted to shares.
// supported modifiers are '*' and '/'
//Volume * 1000
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// for this page, there are three types of quotes.
// The second trigger phrase and associated commands are:
// (currently, a maximum of 4 are allowed)
Mutual Fund Quotes // begin looking for new quote pattern
CorrelateBy=Symbol // specify how to correlate quote to quotefile (default)
<TD ALIGN=LEFT> // indicates start of quote
10 // lines per quote
AutoDate // will search for date field and remove before processing quote
Symbol Time Temp Temp Close Change Temp Prev

// for this page, there are three types of quotes.
// The third trigger phrase and associated commands are:
// (currently, a maximum of 4 are allowed)
Fundamental Data // begin looking for new quote pattern
CorrelateBy=Co_name // specify how to correlate quote to quotefile
//CorrelateBy=Symbol // specify how to correlate quote to quotefile (default)
QuoteType=AddOn // (optional) signals parsing routines that this data will be appended to an earlier primary type
<TD ALIGN=LEFT> // indicates start of quote
5 // lines per quote
NoDate // Do Not look for Date field (none or manual specify)
