I have been working on a technical analysis package (TTR).  It has a
function ('yahoo.data') to pull OHLC, volume, split, and dividend
information from Yahoo! Finance and to correctly adjust the OHLC and
volume data for splits and dividends.  Comments and suggestions are
welcome.  You can find the package here:
