I am travelling and am away from the machine on which I did this, but IIRC
the SP500 spreadsheet (in convenient csv format) contains not only the index
components but s also their industry code, weightings etc

I followed a link from the Wikipedia followed by maybe one or tow searches on
the SP site. It really was pretty straightforward.

Hope this helps, Dirk

Three out of two people have difficulties with fractions.
