I need help finding downloadable stock exchange info.

I've looked all over for a downloadable list of major (and minor) stock exchanges, with hours of operation and offsets from GMT or another time base. My guess is I have to manually go to each exchange's website, look up their hours and their GMT offsets (or use Wikipedia, etc). Is there a source I can get this from that's better than going site by site?

What kind of information do you need? As you can assume, the best information is proprietary and you will have to pay a hefty fee. The Misbehavior of the Markets demonstrates some of the problems you will run into, and may want to include caveats presented there in your paper.

Response by poster: There are (if the ISO is a proper example) over 400 of these...I could break them down by market cap traded and cut the list down to 80 or so...

The World Federation of Exchanges lists a few. That and Interactive Brokers' list were the best I could find searching the web.
