Yes Dave missed my previous post and Yes Yahoo apparently 
provides split adjusted volume with unadjusted prices 
and yes it should no logner be divided to get adjusted volume (because
it is already adjusted) and to get unadjusted data the reverse
process must be applied. The ability to do so will be added
in future releases of AB.
