Re: Reuters DataLink beta testers<BR><BR></DIV></FONT>
<P><FONT size=2>Dear RT DataLink Support,</FONT> </P>
<P></P>
<P><FONT size=2>From your latest announced Beta-Test offer, and visting your
site, I have become quite intrested in (some of)</FONT></P>
<DIV><FONT size=2>your advertised RTD-package(s) and therefore would like for
you to answer my following questions, please.</FONT> </DIV>
<P></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Example:</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT
size=2> <STRONG>Initial
Price
Discount </STRONG> <STRONG>
Net-subscribtion Price </STRONG>(yearly, divide by 12 for monthly)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT
size=2> </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT size=2>a. Pro Package $ 779.40
(12x64.95) - $ 233.82 (30%) = $
545.58 (monthly = $ 45.47)</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>b. Stock Package $ 299.40 (12x24.95) -
$ 29.94 (10%) = $ 269.40 (monthly = $
22.45)</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>c. Add On
Pack. $ 119.40 (12x9.95) - $ 11.94 (10%)
= $ 107.40 (monthly = $ 8.95)</FONT> </P>
<P></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Package b+c only sums up to a total cost of $ 376.80/yearly
(eg, $31.40/monthly ).</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>Compared to my current subscribtion</FONT> <FONT
size=2>elsewhere of +/- $ 250.00/yearly (roughly € 250.00) including one(1)
exchange</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>only plus </FONT><FONT size=2>a few International indexes
are included), seems (now) very reasonably</FONT> <FONT size=2>priced.</FONT>
</P>
<P></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Also the<B> AutoClean<SUP><FONT size=1>TM</FONT></SUP></B>
effortless automatic error correction feature, that is standard included with
the packages,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>is very appealing to me as well.</FONT> </P>
<P></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Tho, can you please answer (by giving full lengthy answers)
for us the following:</FONT> </P>
<P></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Q1-</FONT> <FONT size=2>Are the 5 package's Prices
given, for delayed Data (eg in the Downloader known as "Real Time
Data")</FONT> <FONT size=2>or/and</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2> for end-of-day (EOD)
?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT color=#0000ff face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN
class=512452823-24061999> DataLink is end of day
data only.</SPAN></FONT> </P>
<P>Q2- Are these Net or Gross Prices, eg are the taxes/fees included here
? </P>
<P> <FONT color=#0000ff face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN
class=512452823-24061999> These are net prices. We do not add taxes
or other fees. </SPAN></FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>Q3- When will other non US-local, eg
the international elsewhere situated Exchanges(worldwide) become
available ?<FONT color=#0000ff face=Tahoma><SPAN
class=512452823-24061999> </SPAN></FONT></FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff face=Tahoma><SPAN
class=512452823-24061999> We are working on
getting all the G8 data but have no timetable at this
point.</SPAN></FONT></FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff face=Tahoma><SPAN
class=512452823-24061999> Currently, US and
Canadian issues are covered and most International
indices.</SPAN></FONT></FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2> If this is currently not
a possibility for RTD-subscribtions, can you please keep us informed when this
does</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2> become available ?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT color=#0000ff face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN
class=512452823-24061999> I guarantee
you'll here about it if we are able to make the data available.</SPAN></FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT size=2>Q4- Will there be refunds given on subscribtion Prices for
datadays that were not provided by the RTD-services, eg</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2> any non-downloadable
days, the days when downloads fail to succeed ?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2> <FONT color=#0000ff face=Tahoma><SPAN
class=512452823-24061999> We are working to eliminate
those. That is part of the reason a beta test is
necessary.</SPAN></FONT></FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2> Also, what actions has
been undertaken to preveal these "In Error"-days, eg days in the past
when downloads</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2> could
not </FONT><FONT size=2>be made due </FONT><FONT size=2>to failing
RTD-server software ?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT color=#0000ff face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN
class=512452823-24061999> This beta test
is due to a complete rewrite of data delivery.</SPAN></FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2> This, as you can note
from this inquiry, can become quite intresting and attractive too for most
European</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2> MetaStock-users
</FONT><FONT size=2>as well as</FONT> <FONT size=2>for many other
TA/Charting-software package-users and also this can become</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2> quite/very intresting
(and attractive) </FONT><FONT size=2>for you as Reuters
DataLink.</FONT> <FONT size=2>Therefore, I hope that we (in EuroLand)
or</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2> other parts of the globe
(Asean, Latin Am, Eastern Europe, </FONT><FONT size=2>Sth Africa)</FONT>
<FONT size=2>are not forgotten by your program developers.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT color=#0000ff face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN
class=512452823-24061999> We have many European
and Asian customers. We never forget you guys.</SPAN></FONT> </P>

<P>Pricing starts as low as $24.95 a month with up to a 30% discount
for annual accounts. All historical data for the pricing plan you sign
up for is included. (e.g. If you sign up for the Stock plan you get
complete access to current and historical stock quotes, but if you
want to collect quotes on Futures, you'll have to pay separately for
them.) <A

Status:
I've just started with Metastock (6.52); I'm trying to determine where to
get my data. I'm not a day trader, so end of the day data downloads should
be fine.
What recommendations do people have?
Thanks,
Jeff Lackey
