if you have the lynx command you could
system("lynx -dump http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h10/hist/dat00_al.txt
")
and, somehow, associate with a file handle for reading. I realize lynx is an
linux/unix like command and you are probably running on windows.
It can be run on windows, found in google:
