Sounds like perhaps Omega is planning to use the primitive BMI Data Manager provided with
the BMI Market Center???. I tried the BMI Data manager this afternoon - it seems
significantly lacking in functionality compared to even the T/S 4 Server. But this makes
sense since BMI is in the business of providing data, not advanced Data Servers.
So I'm confused by Mark J.'s (Omega Support) statement, since I thought we have been
assured several times that Omega was developing their own fast and much improved Data
Server for T/S Version 5, which would also explain the high price Omega is asking for T/S
5.0.
Perhaps one of us BMI users will have to order a full version T/S 5.0 to get a 30-day
trial and find out what we are getting.
