For us non-financy-types, does anyone mind letting us know what this file looked like so we can, you know, potentially duplicate it and provide it to those who find it a necessity?

You find FX data everywhere because it's public. But Yahoo also had stock data. And that is hard to find for free online. I guess Yahoo had to shut it down because exchanges didn't like them giving data away for free via API.
