Hi CJ, gotta run but if you check on the "glossary" thread there is a site that will probably answer your question. Try a search for "short interest"

COMPAQ WOES: THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY
(AND WHY WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW COULD *HELP* YOU)

zdnet.com

When the world's largest PC manufacturer warns about
flat earnings, the entire industry listens. But doesn't
always get the whole story. Come to the site and
I'll tell you what you *aren't* hearing about Compaq's
woes. And how *you* may prosper from the price cuts
Compaq will finally be forced to make.

Hi CJ,

I do not think S/A = #of days to cover is really relevant either.

S/A = Shares short/Avg. daily volume = 8,263,151/6,556,880 = 1.26
However, in addition to all other variables, we all know that Nasd double counts volumes........
