Omega products use a CTREE database, my understanding is that they do not
use the deluxe ctree. This ctree database only allows 1 copy of a ctree to
be running on a computer at a time. Fidelity FOX+ software 16 bit and Quotes
Plus 1 use the same ctree database. Running any 2 of these programs at once
will crash a system. Fidelity FOX+ has a patch fix so that they can run with
Omega products, but the best fix is to use there new 32 bit program. Quotes
Plus is beta testing a 32 bit program which also gets around this ctree
problem. Both have worked successfully for me as a SC4 user. Some supervisor
level tech support people at FOX+ can address this relative obscure problem.

Subject: Re: CTREE Errors
|Also,
|
| Since this thread cntinues, this might help. When I had build 18 I
|accidentally entered a root symbol (only) to my portfolio as I was hacking
|away at adding options on futures. This gave me the exact symptoms you are
|experiencing, so you may want to check for a bogus symbol in your
portfolio.
|
| The way I found the offending symbol was to set the middle of the night
|cleanup (was it moring update?) time for a couple minutes from "now," then
|carefully watched the rebuild progress until it crashed. The symbols
rolled
|past alphabetically until a certain point in the rebuild/cleanup, then it
|crashed. So I looked in that part of the alphabet of my portfolio entries
for
|the bogus symbol. Found and deleted it. Presto - never again a CTREE
|problem.
|
| I found out experimentally which checkbox within morning update actually
|triggered the crash and unchecked it to "stop the bleeding," since all
worked
|fine during the day. I got tired of stumbling into my office shortly
before
|market openings and finding the system a mess during those days of
searching
|for the above cure. No thanks to Omega tech support for this one.
