Free data collection software offered by Equis
NEW -- Equis International has released a free version of its end-of-day data collection software, The Downloader, available from Equis's Web site. This version works with Reuters Trend DataLink by subscription to collect data. The DownLoader can collect an unlimited number of securities at one time. It also provides ticker symbol information on more than 10,000 stocks from major US exchanges.
Data is displayed in worksheets for easy editing and copying into other spreadsheet packages. Data collection can be automated further by using the Express DownLoad feature, and can run in the background. Data retrieval can be scheduled for automatic access during off-peak hours, or when the user is away from the computer.
