I keep reading in other places about ensign. may have to try it out. pc quote uses it I beleive which starts at around $75.00 but they want another $75.00/month to get charting with studies. BTW: MS finally released IE 4.0 preview for Unix and for 3.1. I loaded this AM and its pretty sad release. no news or mail, no channel support, and the UI is ugly (buttons are enormous), it also appears to be quite slow. Overall, not to impressed. I expected more after 2+ years on the drawing board. Eventually they will have to get this right to compete with netscape in the corporate market. Too many big companies have heterogenous computing environments. Service Pack 1 for IE is due out soon. Typical problems continue. At least 1 persion a week I personally knows is destroying their system with IE 4.0. Seems that trying to uninstall it is not a good choice. For anyone having problems with Java hanging when starting in either IE or Netscape check this out..... sousystems.com Sean

I'll spend some time looking to see whether Window On Wallstreet Day Trader can work most of the time or continue what happened on this, the first full day it was installed and running on my system, a K6 166 on FIC PA2007 board, 1 Meg cache, 64 MBytes SDRAM, 3.1 EIDE drive. The data feeder is DTN's Galaxy satellite. Around 3 pm EST a page fault inspired by attempting to save a window in the WOWdt file menu caused WOWdt to be closed. I was noticing that other instances of programs running, contacting my ISP for mail, were slowing, but I had no system monitor running to see the show from the inside. It seems WOWdt and the Market Data Server software that sorts and maintains the database were using a large share of resources. Normally, I have the same assortment of software running without problems. The only change today was including WOWdt and Market Data Server and having only two instances of Netscape running, instead of six or eight. DTN is including a copy of WOW Day Trader (WOWdt) with their free audition of DTN for 30 days. Normally, this system is stable and a page fault is rare. So, I'm concerned when I see it happen... especially on Day One of play with new software.
