Reginald, thank you. Two potential problems: 1) I only have Netscape 3.0; 2) the data base tells me it does not recognize the term "free cash flow." Is the data base telling me the truth, or am I speaking to it in "unnatural" language? Come to think of it, the printed Value Line materials do not report free cash flow, although you can estimate it (roughly) by subtracting the capital expenditures from the cash flow figure. But what Andrew and I were looking for (hope springs eternal!) was a search machine that would not only give us free cash flow figures (at minimum, price/free cash flow ratios), but also provide FCF rankings. Can your data base do that for us? (Say yes, please!) jbe
