Gary, would it be possible for you to be able to start providing to us volume data for the S&P 500? It's a key index to analyze, and it's hard to do thorough technical analysis using price alone. Thanks. Jan

Gary & Techteamsters, Do you know of any reason why the scan function module is not loading into ram after first input list passes anymore? Starting around last Friday, a 12 series scan profile which ordinarily flew by in less than 13 minutes is now taking more than an hour with constant disk thrashing on every individual scan even though reading from the same input file. Previously the first scan completed with usual disk access slowness, but all subsequent scans flew in ram. Start any particular scan and cancel it out somewhere, the rerun flies up to the cancellation point. But full-cycling the same scan twice, the second paces no faster than the first now. There are a couple subordinate 6-scan profiles that seem to act normal after first pass. Some earlier R1.1 batches still run like the 'good old days' on R1.1 so it doesn't appear to be hardware related. Could it be something with the database itself (Ken complained of some new problems this weekend) or maybe a corrupt driver. I don't know program mechanics so at a loss to figure here. But it's a major slowdown in the meantime. Thanks for any insights, Craig
