Neal & Al
The reason CompuServe died on me appears to be that they can't handle a DJIA
greater than 9999, so the last day of data I received was 3/11/99.
Now I changed the symbol and everything else worked (still no DJIA data).
And, yes, I'm aware of the theoretical versus actual DJIA data. We follow
the actual and we manually enter the data for our Clipper system daily from
the DJ Averages hour by hour (usually on page C3, WSJ Money & Investing
Section).

Guy

Alan & Guy,
I've not checked whether the DOW Theoretical crossed 10,000 several
times recently, so can't verify your data.
But many traders do not know the difference between
the DOW THEORETICAL and DOW PRINT quotes...
They are not the same. What I'm saying is that there is more than
one DOW quote, and they differ... For my purposes, I prefer
DOW PRINT to DOW THEORETICAL. Many newspapers/vendors etc use
DOW THEORETICAL, which is a bogus number.
