OptionVue is a good program. The RT feed now runs off the Universal Market
Data Server.

Negatives:

1. Very pricey.

2. They sock you for a subscription to a background database of historical
volatilities to generate a continuous income stream. IMO, the program
should be doing this.

Conclusion: I'd like an alternative and am also interested in other opinions.
