Bob, I do not believe that this is an issue with the Average function in
TS2k. In TS2k, the sum used in the average is completely recalculated every
bar.

Bob, I believe that you may be referring to TS 4, not TS2k. It is clear to
me that the direction for both Omega's products and other vendors' products
is toward VB. In fact, provided with TS 2k are 4 sample VB applications for
user review:
An Alert Tracking Control Center App
A System Tracking Control Center App
A Data Access App
and A Message Log App
Have you been reading Philippe Lhermie's recent posts?
Ignoring the release of TS2k does not make it go away.

Check your post, my friend. You asked why we were wasting time on such
"trivia".
