Thanks b, that is good news. I'd still prefer numbers only to inactives, but
it does seem that you're right, this'll do.
I'm down to the wire on my QuotesPlus subscription; unless I renew, I think
I'm going to be shut off at the end of the day today, if I'm not already.
In your opinion, is the current version of the CSI tools stable, efficient
and usable? It looked from your earlier msgs like speed was up, and the
missing ticker bug you'd seen was fixed. Do I have that right? I've been
rock solid stable with QP, but without inactives, and my impression is that
you and others think CSI's quality is exceptional.
