<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>The conversion of the data is the one burden I
see with TC2000. Once you have it setup is not bad but you have to take 2
steps:<BR></FONT><FONT size=2>1) Export the data from TC2000 to their earlier
version's format. Doing this is not a big deal as all you have to do is
click on export and click on TC2000 format and O.K.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2) However, that data is still not directly readable by MS, so
now you have to go to the downloader and "convert" the TC2000 data to
MS data which all it takes is 2 clicks.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Disadvantages:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1) You have to take 2 extra steps (2 conversions)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2) It takes me almost 1/2 hour to export the TC2000 and almost
another hour to convert to MS ( I have an antique Pentium 200 MMX).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Of course, I set it up and then go and do other things,
however, many people will not like to put up with that hastle and I certainly
would prefer that MS reads TC2000 directly but it does not. I do not know
if this is a Worden problem or an MS problem (I suspect a Worden problem since
other programs read MS directly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If you need me to clarify anything else, please
ask.</FONT></DIV>

Thanks for the info. If QP2 doesn't get straightened out, I may be
looking again. How easy is it to get your data converted to MS format
to use with MS?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT><FONT size=2>I just subscribed to
TC2000 vs 4.1 and I like it. They are giving a free 30 day trial
which I am in. Have been using TC2000 for some time now but this
new version seems the best so far. I have not tried Quotes Plus
which I understand is quite a bit cheaper but TC2000 is now $29/month
flat and you can get even better deals if you pay ahead for a year or
so.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have always received my data on time as opposed to
Quotes Plus which has a reputation for late data sometimes, however, the
TC2000 data has its problems too with correcting splits and
distributions on a timely manner. In fact, I believe I have
several securities where they still have not corrected splits from last
year so it has its problems too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Just wanted you to know to give you other
options.</FONT></DIV>

Jim,
I'm beginning to understand that the problem is that my eudora e-mail
program doesn't convert this uue-code you mentioned.
The one in .gif you sent in a separate message I just had to click on and up
popped the chart.
Rgds.
