A 'screen-scraper' utility that extracts options pricing and series information from the web.
This uses either Yahoo Finance or the CBOE web site for information. The CBOE probably has better data but Yahoo is much faster. By default Yahoo will be used as the data source.
Be sure to read the documentation regarding CBOE blacklisting.
