Total Investor Data Links
-------------------------
HFS Data Links automate the updating process for the portfolios
and historical quote files of Total Investor. This relieves you of the
tedium of manual data entry. Data links are available for Compuserve,
FNN Signal, and Dow Jones News/Retrieval. Information on ordering
these products is provided below.
FNN Signal is a data service that uses a receiver to obtain quotes
which are transmitted by a local FM radio station or by satellite. The
Signal Data Link is a 1-2-3 template that interfaces with the Signal
receiver to update Total Investor portfolios and HQFILES. This a very
low cost way to keep an extensive security database . End of day
service currently costs $65 per month for an unlimited number of
quotes. A program named Linc is provided with Signal to allow 1-2-3
and the HFS Data Link to communicate with the receiver over RS-232.
The Linc program has been designed to work with 1-2-3 and will not
operate with Quattro Pro. Historical data is not available from
Signal. For further information on Lotus Signal call 1-800-367-4670
Ext. 541.
The Compuserve and DJN/R Data Links require a modem and
communication software such as Procomm to capture quotes from these
data services in ASCII files. Both historical and current data is
available from these sources. The data link templates will then
process this ASCII data to update the portfolios and HQFILES of Total
Investor.
The Compuserve Data Link can generate a batch file, called a
TICFILE, that is used to automatically query Compuserve for each
security in a Total Investor portfolio. This TICFILE is uploaded to
Compuserve which will then create a ASCII PRN file filled with quotes
for you to download. The QQUOTE database of Compuserve is used for
current quotes while the PRICE database is used for historical quotes.
Per quote charges of $.01 per current quote and $.05 per historical
quote apply in addition to online charges.
The DJN/R Data Link can generate script files for Procomm that
will automate the data retrieval function. These script files will
automatically query the database and capture the session in an ASCII
file. The //CQE database of DJN/R is used for current quotes and the
//HQ database is used for historical data. The //HQ database carries
approximately 1 year of data on preferred and common stocks, warrants,
and rights. Only online charges apply to these databases, not per
quote charges.
Data Link templates are provided with on-disk documentation.
Detailed instructions and a tutorial are included. If you wish to
