SSChart V1.30 matches uses the index file ./CONFIG/symnames.six
to look-up company names associated with symbol names.  This file
will not have company names for any new issue that was added (IPO's)
after the date the file was created.  You can update this file
periodically by download new symbol directory files from the
exchanges, and running the makesyms.exe program to generate a 
new symbol index file (symnames.six) for SSChart.

To do this proceed as follows:

Using your web browser go to:
http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/trader/symboldirectory/symbol.stm

Under "Download files" select and download the "Nasdaq Issues" and
"Exchange-listed issues" files.

(Note as of 12/23/99, the nasdaq issues, downloads as a .txt file, and the
 Exchange-listed issues, as a self extracting .exe file which when run
 extracts a text file.)

Save the two files in a working directory.

If they load into the browser as text, you can select {File|Save As}
to save to a file.

If either file requires unpacking (unzipping), do it. (Note the
.exe self extracting files can be unpacked by simple running the
.exe program once.)

Assuming after unpacking the files you have two files named:

nasdaq.txt   and   cqssym.txt

Use the makesysm.exe utility (from a dos window, or NT cmd prompt window)
to create a new symnames.six (SSChart symbol index file) as follows:

makesyms nasdaq.txt cqssym.txt

This assumes the above two files are in the current directory, and
makesyms.exe is also in that directory or otherwise in your execution 
path. (If you saved the files under a different name than above, use
that name instead on the makesyms command line.)

The output file "symnames.six" will be created in the current directory.
(The file should be over 300K bytes, or there abouts.)

Move is file into the ./CONFIG subdirectory under your SSChart installation
directory.  (After backing-up the existing symnames.six file).

The new file will be used the next time you run SSChart.
