Gerard --
Thanks for the link and not just for the notes at the bottom.  I didn't know that Yahoo had historical data going back so far, 1962.  However, it looks like they can't calculate dates before Jan 1, 1970.

One of the things I find frustrating about Yahoo though is that they are very inconsistent with posting dividends, especially for mutual funds, which can be significant.
