Subject: Investment data collection at FTP site...


Do you have some historical investment data you'd like to share with
the rest of the world? Stocks? Commodities? Mutual Funds? Investment
programs that one could not otherwise find out on the internet? Maybe
something (freely redistributable) you've downloaded off of a BBS? If
so, please FTP your files to the system below.  When doing so, please
try to pick meaningful filenames such as:

	nyse.1992.Z		Stock quotes for NYSE for 1992, compressed
	nyse.1992.readme	A (required) readme file describing the file.
				Please include your E-Mail address in
				this file.

Purpose:	To collect as much publicly available market data in one
		place so people can FTP it easily.

System:		sunsite.unc.edu
Login:		anonymous
Password:	YourEMailAdddress
Directory:	pub/archives/misc.invest

WARNING: ONLY *FREELY REDISTRIBUTABLE* DATA IS ALLOWED ON THIS SITE!!!
	 If you notice some data this is NOT freely redistributable,
	 PLEASE send E-Mail to me telling me which file(s) you believe to
	 be questionable.  Uploading copyrighted data to sunsite is a quick
	 way to kill this FTP site - please don't do it.

Feel free to put your contributions in the misc.invest/incoming
directory (or make another directory in "incoming" if there are a
large amount of files).  Also, after adding something to the archive,
please send me E-Mail (egsavage@email.com) alerting me to what it
is.

A quick overview of the type (ie., the suffix) of files you'll see out there:

	.Z	compressed - use "compress" or "gunzip"/"gzip -d" to
		uncompress these. An MS-DOS executable can be found in the
		archive-utilities/gzip directory.

	.gz	gzip'ed - "gunzip"/"gzip -d" to uncompress these. An MS-DOS
		executable can be found in the archive-utilities/gzip
		directory.

	.tar.Z	compressed tar file - you'll need some version of the
		tar archive program to play with this one (along with gzip
		or compress).

	.zip	a zip archive - see the archive-utilities/zip directory for
		various sources or executables of the zip programs.

If someone has something to contribute but they do not have FTP
access, feel free to E-Mail me the files along with a README and I'll
put them out there for you.

If you do not have FTP access, you may want to check into these
FTP-by-Email services (extracted from Scott Yanoff's Internet services
list - contact yanoff@csd4.csd.uwm.edu):
