I have reinstalled SP3 and SP4b now, and shall see what happens. I am happy
to report that TS2Ki is behaving better than I've seen it. Perhaps through
various revisions and patches my installation was less than clean -- Lets
see what happens once data starts coming through in volume on Monday...
Thanks and regards,
Mike

THAT is wierd.....in my view, a symbol is a symbol......
the ONLY other variable must be the data vendor's handling of
futures....which is related to the feed they subscribe-to from the
exchanges.
It all backs-up to the source of the data....maybe ?
