All, I will send out some new batch files later... some of stub programs such as qp_netlaunch are no longer required. I finally figured out to use 'start /w' instead. Even gary had never heard of this one and came up with the hack solution. Its eliminates some redundant code. BTW: This only effect Win95 the behavior is different on Windows NT. BTW: Who ever asked the Virutal question related to NT. vritual only works on 95 at the moment and you'll have to ask gary about it. I have asked and the answer varies depending on what day it is :) Also QPV works over MS Networking with Most packages except GET. So I access Virtual data from Windows NT across the Network on a 95 box. Expect to pay a speed penalty.... Sean

More specifically, from qp2.com you can download stock and IRL data. Click on any file you want to download and save it to disk. Change <whatever>.qpl to <whatever>.zip for daily stock data; leave <whatever>.cdz as is. Then, if you get mutual funds, do the same thing in qp2.com but here change <whatever>.qpl to <whatever>.mfn I download these to another directory for archiving, then move the results to INCOMING. But I admit I haven't figured out how to make QP2 process INCOMING without downloading everything again. However, I get to keep my archives anyhow, so I can rebuild eventually if necessary. Spots PS. You will be challenged for userid and password to access these sites, as is appropriate.
