What?!? You mean there might be growing pains? <VBG> I know watcha mean about the changes on order entry pages. I have a number of different "front ends" for different brokers, and so far they've all kept up with the new decimal prices as well as the older fractions incrimented in 64ths and greater. My charting programs also seem to be able to cope, but only with 6-digit decimals. Irritating, but tolerable. IMO, this should have been done 40 years ago. The fractional system, stemming from the old "pieces of eight," is so anacronistic that even King George (of old England, not Bush <g>) would have complained. jim
