SH> OK?? GOT YOUR ATTENTION? YOU MAY WISH TO LOG ONTO THE MELBOURNE PC USERS 
SH> GROUP AND KEYWORD SEARCH FOR THE FOLLOWING INDICES WHICH I UPLOADED IN 
SH> ASCII TEXT FORMAT, THE ALL ORDINARIES (DAILY DATA FROM 31/8/56 - 
SH> 21/4/95),THE DOW JONES 30 INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE (DAILY DATA FROM 3/1/84 - 
SH> 21/4/95), THE STANDARD & POORS 100 INDEX (DAILY DATA FROM 5/1/84 - 
SH> 20/4/95), AND THE STANDARD & POORS 500 INDEX (DAILY DATA FROM 2/7/79 - 
SH> 20/4/95). THE FILES WERE UPLOADED AS S&P100.TXT; S&P500.TXT;
ALLORDS.TXT 

Can someone in Melbourne please,

1. Zip these up 
2. Make them available for FREQ somewhere (Melbourne is fine)
3. Tell me what the size of the archive is.

Thanks!

SH> AND DJONES30.TXT, THOUGH THE MELB PCUG SYSOP MAY VARY THE NAMES AFTER 
SH> SCANNING THEM. YOU WILL PROBABLY FIND THEM LOCATED IN THE
"BUSINESS" FILES 
SH> AREA...ENJOY, YOURS IN ANARCHY..HOPEFULLY THOSE WHO ARE LIKE MINDED AND 
SH> HAVE ANY HISTORIC DATA MIGHT CONSIDER DOING THE SAME, AS IF THIS INFO 
SH> STARTS TO BECOME FREELY AVAILABLE THE DATA PROVIDERS MAY NEED TO REDUCE 
SH> THEIR PRICES TO US THE CONSUMERS!!

I fail to see why historical data should be anything other than
free.  BFN.  Paul.
