Re: [amibroker] CML tickers + preventing Option tickers from entering the data base

Hi David

Thank you very much for your quick response (and all your other postings -
things get a bit 'tense' sometimes but most of us have kept your 'sense of
humour' too ;-) )

I've just been out to StockCentral and there is a thread started on this
'how to deal with CML' issue in the "What Makes News" section ... I'm not
the only one wondering how to handle the two data streams!

Q2 still there for you TJ

Thanks

Fred
