Richard... Some years ago, I used TC2000 and it was compatible with WOW then. Do you know that this is no longer true? The main thing I didn't like about it at that time was that WOW could not edit directly the TC data. If you wanted to do that you had to quit WOW and fire TC to edit, then come back to WOW. I think this was in the early days of WIN3.1, not sure. Ken

Right you are. CSI is was. As to the "WOW Development Tool", I should have said the programming tool (compiler/data base engine or whatever) WOW purchased to develop the program had some inherent limitation. That wasn't unusual about that time. I suspect it was that it could only manage some tables or pointers in one Windows page of 64KB, so that something in the range of (it was never a specific number) 800-900 stocks caused WOW to hang up. Admittedly, a bad design decision, but it apparently was one that they couldn't work around so they waited until they did a whole revamp of the product with a later generation tool.
