listed Name</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>been changed, and as such do not trade anymore,
eg not under this "alias" anymore but did </FONT><FONT size=2>proceed under
another</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>"alias", eg now in their new Name/Ticker, and</FONT><FONT
size=2> therefore creating a backup first (to an ASCII-txt file) and also
doing so</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>before </FONT><FONT size=2>deleting the original, is very
much advisable.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The loss of any <still usable> historical data can

<DIV><FONT size=2>From one of the Equis' faq's:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Q. Securities are showing up on my Exploration Results and
they don't have data for the<BR> required current date.
Why?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><BR>A. The Explorer tests the last day of data that is
specified. If the day specified is not<BR> there then it
goes to the next day available.<BR> For example if you
tell the Explorer to test on 08/16/96 and there is only
data<BR> to 08/08/96 for one security the explorer will
check the 8th for your criteria.<BR> If the data on the
8th passes your criteria it will show up on the explorer results on
08/16/96 and later. </FONT></DIV>
