Archive-name: compustat/10-Oct-90 Original-posting-by: ejbell@milton.u.washington.edu (Eric Bell) Original-subject: CRSP/Compustat Source Available Archive-site: milton.u.washington.edu [128.95.136.1] Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) My CRSP & Compustat database source code has finally reached some semblance of stability and is available via anonymous ftp. I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but things were still changing. ftp milton.u.washington.edu -or- 128.95.136.1 user ftp cd public/bacs/fd Files in all caps are text files that describe what's available. Everything else is stored in multiple hierarchical directories. UNIX users can just grab the TARFILE and use TAR to extract everything. As my previous message mentioned, my last regular day here is this Friday, but I'm going to be tying up loose ends over the next month and will be monitoring my e-mail. I hope to inculcate my replacement with the sense of collegiality I have. I also hope to get the files put into the UIC archives, but I just don't have time right now.
