从yahoo.com上下载股票的报价

http://www.vb-helper.com/HowTo/stocks.zip

	Purpose
Download stock quotes from quote.yahoo.com.

	Method
Use the Internet Transfer control.

To use this program, connnect to the network and then run the program.

Note: This program has some problems. In particular, it crashes when it
stops. If you figure out what is wrong with it, please let me know at
[e-mail].

NOTE: This program now has a bigger problem. Yahoo seems to have changed how
their stock server works. It used to return a normal HTML page. Now it seems
to return something strange, probably to defeat programs like this one. To
see the problem, go to this URL:

	http://quote.yahoo.com/q?s=gte%2Cdis%2Ccoke%2Cgte&d=v1

Then use your browser's View Source command to look at the source. Not very
informative, is it? Compare that to the results this used to give contained
in the file quote.htm in this zip file.

I am leaving this program on the Web site so you can see how to parse a Web
page, but it no longer works with the Yahoo stock quote system.
