Yahoo options


Every once in a while, Yahoo changes things: URLs, symbols etc.
Recently, I've been getting e-mails complaining that a certain spreadsheet (that downloads option data) isn't working.
So I try to fix it ... in vain.
Then I read this (from the Yahoo web site):
Note: The consolidation of changes in options symbology will happen over a period of time from Jan 2010 to May 2010.

Note the time period: Jan, 2010 to May, 2010.
I reckon I'll wait for a month or three before I try again.
