Nevada, use Yahoo or Alta Vista to find sites that give out free quotes and try a few of them. They seem to use different quote engines, so the symbols they accept are different. You might find one that works. Otherwise, maybe e-mail the Yahoo webmaster and ask that the symbols be added to their database. What have you got to lose? Simplest would be to find a commercial firm to do this for your university, since once you start dealing with their finances you might end up with some liability if the quote engine made a mistake and they went the wrong way on a million dollars worth of endowment-funded bonds.
