Chuck, I sent a letter of today's problems to the e.mail box you mentioned (see it reproduced below).

You said:

WHAT improvements should we have seen with the latest upgrade?
It seems to be the same old, same old, unreliable, inaccurate and incomplete data as before.

And still no OTC-BB quotes.
It is ridiculous to PAY DBC for quotes, but I need a maintain a FREE WEB SITE for OTC-BB quotes. Wouldn't DBC agree?

Suggestion:
It would be helpful to indicate WHAT IMPORVEMENTS are in each iteration/upgrade of the software on your Web Site.

-----------------------------------------------------
My "problems" letter:
I have the 5/26/98 version of the software.

Problems at 9:54amÿ 5/28/98:
EPEXÿ shows 3.50K as the volume in the QUOTE screen, but it only had two trades totaling 2.50K shares in the TIME & SALES screen.ÿÿ The correct data, gotten off a free real-time Web site is 3 trades totaling 3.50K shares

EPEX Level II screen shows a best bid by RAJA of 11 13/16ÿ The free real-time Web site confirms this is the correct bid.ÿ But your Time & Sales and your Quote Screen say the Best Bid is only 11 3/4.
By 9:57am most of these sources were in sync at 11 7/8ths bid.ÿÿ But your Time & Sales never captured the 11 13/16 bid in its history.

It is UNACCEPTABLE for a free Web site to have more timely and more accurate information than your real-time data feed.

MEXPÿ shows 10.9K as the volume in the QUOTE screen, but it has no trades in the TIME & SALES screen.ÿÿ The correct data, gotten off a free real-time Web site is no trades today.

SISIÿ shows 3.5K as the volume in the QUOTE screen, but it has no trades and no bid & ask in the TIME & SALES screen.ÿÿ The correct data, gotten off a free real-time Web site is no trades today.
Your Quote screen correctly shows a 5 3/4 Bid, but your Level II says the best bid is HILL at 5 1/2.
