Big Point value

I posted this question a few weeks ago and got a couple of 
suggestions, but nothing worked.  I'd really like to get this fixed 
so I'm going to post it once more and see if anyone has any ideas.  
If not, I guess I'll have to go back to my old symbol universe.

Thanks,
Gary

=========================

Omega's website has a Symbol Universe update for TS4 at 
ftp://ftp.omegaresearch.com/pub/NEW4uni/universe.mdb .  It's pretty 
recent (12/16/98) so I figured it would be a good idea to update.  I 
was still running with my original universe that had old trading 
times and other out-of-date info.  So I installed it.   

I'd made some changes to my universe, like changing the big point 
value of SPX to $250 and NDX to $100, so I could run systems on those 
symbols and have them simulate SP and ND futures.  I made the same 
changes to SPX and NDX in the new universe.  

Now if I run a system on SPX, it uses a value of $250/bp just like it 
should.  If I change the SPX point value, the new value shows up the 
next time I run a system on it.  But systems on NDX still use $1/bp, 
even though I've set the Big Point value to $100.  As far as I can 
tell the SPX and NDX symbol settings are identical, except for the 
$250/$100 difference.  

Any guesses why I can't get NDX to accept a new big point value?

Thanks,
Gary
