Short Description:
------------------
Stable - Data Assistant provides a set of highly flexible data
management functions for retrieving and maintaining your financial
ASCII data files in the Windows 3.1 environment. This product
features automated daily and historical data retrieval from
CompuServe - saving you both time and money in maintaining your
financial data. Prompted manual update alleviates the need to
write special programs that update your ASCII data files - simply
enter the required daily data and Data Assistant does the rest.
File maintenance functions allow you to create, modify, and merge
files - as well as performing data verification and split/dividend
adjustments to your data. An ASCII communication terminal allows
you to create and process your own communication scripts. Data
Assistant is a companion product to Stable - Technical Graphs,
but can be used with other products that make use of ASCII
financial information in the Stable format.

Assistant is a companion product to Stable - Technical Graphs,
but can be used with other products that make use of ASCII
financial information.
Automated Data Update is performed using the CompuServe data
service. By far the most important feature of Data Assistant,
automated data update can save you time and money every day.
Data Assistant establishes communications with CompuServe,
retrieves your financial data symbol(s), logs off from CompuServe,
and updates your ASCII financial data automatically and
conveniently.
Manual Data Update is supported through dialog box prompting.
This alleviates the need to write special programs that update
your ASCII data files - or to manually edit your files using a
text editor. After establishing the financial symbols and
associated data files you want to maintain, Data Assistant prompts
you for the daily figures and automatically updates your ASCII
data files.
Data File Maintenance provides you with a wide variety of data
maintenance functions for managing your historical ASCII data
files. With this capability, you can:
o Create new ASCII data files.
o Modify the contents/format of your existing ASCII data files.
o Merge several ASCII data files together into one file.
o Perform data verification on your ASCII data files.
o Adjust your ASCII data files for splits and dividends.
Script File Processing for automating communication sessions with
remote systems via the modem is also available through a
communications terminal. This feature is how Stable Data Assistant
performs automated retrieval. You too can take advantage of this
processing feature by writing your own communication scripts for
almost any personal need or requirement.
