The MetaLib SDK provides functions for reading/writing/sorting MetaStockTM security and price data. The MetaLib library removes many of the complexities of accessing MetaStockTM data files from your program. As a result, your development time will be shorter.
MetaLib also has an interface that allows you to download end of day/intraday stocks, index and futures market data from the Yahoo server. You only have to write 6 (!) lines of code to use this feature to your project! You can decide whether you want to store the quotes in MetaStockTM files or ASCII files.
