[R-SIG-Finance] direct data download from metastock

[SNV Krishna]

Hi Alexios,

I did a search on MsCmdLineUtils, but the geocities download link is not 
working. i just posted a query on the google group forum. in the mean time, 
is it possible for you to send me the link of package over mail so that i 
can install and try it.

thanks and regards,

krishna
