Hi Assen,

Would your utility be able to accept raltime streaming quotes from another
feed, such as Quote.com over the internet? Also, my understanding is TS
won't update it's imported ASCII files in true RT but, at best, form 1
minute bars since it doesn't accept data in tick form. There's been a real
struggle going on out there among owners of TS who also have other apps
that run off other feeds; e.g., I own 2 apps (Adv GET RT & Dynamic Trader,
in addition to TS) that accept data from Quote.com. If I could get TS to
accept *REAL* time data thru a utility I could eliminate using BMI
(hurray!) & avoid having to pay for 2 separate feeds. Please continue this
dialogue. Dan Dill and others "want to know."!  <g>
