List of fixes to the Global Server in Service Pack 2.  No doubt more Service
Packs will be required, but the list below seems a reasonable start.    Omega
has listed these fixes at http://www.omegaresearch.com/supportonline/

  a.. Volume discrepancies for DTN have been resolved.
  b.. Automatic sampling of best bid and best ask resolutions is being handled
correctly.
  c.. HISTORYBANK.COM’s User Interface is now much easier to use and will
provide more information during the download and distribution of data. You will
now see bytes downloaded vs. total bytes in the status bar performing a
download.
  d.. When you download from HISTORYBANK.COM, the default has been changed so
that it will not automatically add symbols to your portfolio.
  e.. When downloading from the Internet, your your connection to the
HISTORYBANK.COM ftp site will now close immediately after the download is
complete instead of after the processing and distribution of the data is
finished, freeing up your connection much sooner.
  f.. We’ve added support for higher speed baud rates, specifically 230400 and
460800 for DTN.
  g.. You will no longer receive errors from the GlobalServer looking for
weekend data from HISTORYBANK.COM.
  h.. If the Internet connection is dropped during a download from
HISTORYBANK.COM, we will attempt to re-establish the connection and continue the
download.
  i.. You can now choose different dates for daily and intraday within the
Download Data dialog in HISTORYBANK.COM.
  j.. Back-adjusted continuous futures contracts are now available.
  k.. HISTORYBANK.COM can now automatically determine the date you last
downloaded.
  l.. We’ve enhanced functionality to allow you to choose whether to import
obsolete stocks and/or expired futures from HISTORYBANK.COM Financial Database
CD.
  m.. History requests from the GlobalServer have been optimized for speed.
  n.. You will now receive a warning message if you are collecting regional
stock data or redundant tick data using the Data Manager.
  o.. Symbols are now not automatically connected in Internet datafeeds, giving
you the option to select only the symbols for which you wish to collect data and
still maintain a large portfolio.
  p.. When setting up the GlobalServer, the programs will now check if any
installed datafeeds support news in order to automatically register/unregister
the NewsMonitor accurately.
  q.. You can now import expired future options into the GlobalServer for Signal
(DBC).
  r.. Your portfolio will now refresh after downloading from HISTORYBANK.COM.
  s.. Events in the eventlog are now sorted in chronological order on startup of
the GlobalServer.
  t.. We now prevent AOL users from being disconnected (by AOL) if the download
(FTP download) lasts more than 45 minutes.
  u.. The calculation of up tick and down tick counts has been modified to
resolve discrepancies in EasyLanguage calculations.
  v.. OptionStation 2000i now accurately requests all U.S. futures option chains
from PC Quote.
