OK - I got a response from the Equis.com forum - Apparently datalink 
volume data needs to be multiplied by 100 to get the actual data.  
This is no big deal if all your data is the same of course, but 
unfortunately most of my data was from another source, so that is 
why there is a difference.  Now all I need to do is delete all my 
old data and reload with Datalink and I will be consistent.

So my faith in Reuters datalink has been restored.
