Stable - Data Assistant is not free software!
WINTERRA Software Group provides a limited license for you to
evaluate this product for a period of 30 days in your own work
environment. This "try before you buy" approach allows you to
determine if the product meets your individual needs before you
purchase it. If you continue to use this product after the 30 day
evaluation period, you are required to purchase a licensed version.
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE FILE BEFORE INSTALLING OR RUNNING STABLE.
This version of Stable Data Assistant is the most current version
as of the above release date. However, keep in mind that we are
constantly upgrading and enhancing our products, and this version
may not reflect the most current version of the product.
Requirements
------------
o An 80286/386/486 personal computer.
o Microsoft Windows 3.1 or greater and MS-DOS version 5.0 or greater.
o VGA or higher resolution monitor.
o Hayes-compatible modem (for automated data retrieval).
o CompuServe membership for accessing financial data through
BASICQUOTES and MQINT interfaces (free introductory membership
available with registration).
o System mouse or other pointing device.
Version 1.02
------------
This version is the first public release distributed via the shareware
marketing method. We hope you find our product both useful and beneficial
in your daily financial work.
Stable - Data Assistant provides a set of highly flexible data
management functions for maintaining financial ASCII data files
in the Windows 3.1 environment. The product features automated
daily/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
data communication scripts. Data Assistant is a companion product
to Stable - Technical Graphs, but can be used with other products
that use ASCII financial information conforming to the Stable ASCII
file format.
RELEASE NOTE:
In the DAILY.TPL file, which is the template file Data Assistant uses
to build its financial retrieval script for daily quotes, the script
command line that reads...
S &SYMBOL19&^M
...should never contain a value larger than 19 for the program to
function properly. If your version of Data Assistant seems to fail
or stop in the middle of the retrieval process, this is the reason.
