I don't think there is any.

I looked high and dry but could not find this kind of software for downloding quotes from nseindia.com

I would love to know of any if you do find it.

No, I do not use any software to analyze options.

I only trade options on special ocasions, when I expect a major reversal on the downside.

Otherwise I trade uptrends by buying stocks or futures.
