Mark I use Bhodi Freeway for data supply. Through this I can filter the
data before it gets to me, plus get it in different formats. I also have
ezycharts (my old package) that I also directly download to with all the
complete data in case I need it. I also keep this package current as it
has the p&F charts that I like to use.
