The CBOE option page is at webservices.pcquote.com

I'll have to write a new parsing routine, but this looks like something I can work with.

Sergio, my page is run by a cgi perl script. The script works just like you would; it follows the URL to the quote page, downloads the html, and parses it to pull out the information it needs. The trick is in the parsing; it's a lot easier to for a human to do than a computer.

Thanks for pointing me to CBOE! We should be back in business before the market opens.

Doug.
