   1. OVERVIEW
==========================================
Option Crawler is a stock option chain quoting, valuation
and strategy building tool.  Simply enter the symbol of the 
underlying stock, or select from every stock trading listed options from a
drop down box.  OptionQuoter then pulls the complete
Option Chain from the internet, including hard to find
valuations such as fair value, implied volatility,
and the Greeks (Delta, Theta, Gamma, Rho, Vega).  You
may sort the chain by various criteria. You may then build
strategies by clicking on particular options, indicating the
number of contracts you want, long or short, then you may
test these by changing the date and price of the underlying stock
to see the new projected value of your complete strategy.  Strategies
may be saved for future monitoring.
