Mike:
The emini was launched on Sept. of 1997.  I don't remember the day, but  the 
11th sticks out.
Yes, the big S&P was split that day to a 250X multiplier from a 500X 
multiplier.

 When was the VALUE of the large S&P 500 future contract cut in half?
 Was it mid 95 or 97?
 Anyone know the exact date?
 Was that the same date that the e-mini was introduced?
