Simon, How I found out about this, is due to the fact that I CAN NOT USE
THE DOWNLOADER! One: I can not point and click (no mouse), Two: I am still
in South America and my computer is in North America, even if it had a mouse
I can not play/use it! I need a simple ASCII data feed! I can do the rest,
ALL BY MY SELF!
After I told a number of potential vendors, I eventually got a response
like: "WOW, All by your self. We won't have to pay the finders fee to
anyone!! WOW"
As for, "stick with Equis".... I use MS 4.0 for DOS.. I lovely little, very
specialized, graphing "Utility". And, it is nothing more than that....
Thanks for the tip... I will check them out!
