Yes, yes, yes!

Also, though I know nobody else probably much cares, I would 
really like to be able to see my system results in dollars, rather
than points.  I'd much appreciate a database of futures contract
details to use with system tests -- conveniently editable, of course,
so we can update it after changes.  And the usual specifiable
fudge factors for commissions and estimated slippage.

But if you'll just give us the first two, I'll happily settle for it.
