Harry- Trust me, you WANT to try ProTA Gold. You can't use the same DialData account for both programs, so I'm downloading through Hotline, then exporting my data and importing it to ProTA. One big problem so far: I have a lot of tickers, and they were imported with names identical to the ticker symbols, so I have to make about 6 or 7 mouse/keyboard actions to change each security name, which is quite a task. There may be a better way to export the data so it includes the names, or there may be a faster way of updating them in ProTA that I'm not aware of. I'm still not sure if I will abandon Hotline, but ProTA is growing on me. Steve

I have one of the out-of-print books by Darvas, "Wall Street, the Other Las Vegas." He sure has quite the story to tell, huh? I got the book through Frasier Publishing in Burlington, VT. Took them about a year to get it for me. It's very much like his best seller; however, he goes into more detail about how to use those boxes he keeps talking about. There's a Darvas thread here on Silicon Investor. Yes, there is a demo version of ProTA you can download at the BeeSoft web site – beesoft.net. I use Dial/Data too. I asked them the same question about downloading to both programs (I also own Personal Hotline). Wouldn't you know, nothing's ever easy, there is a user code and the first two letters actually designate what software you are downloading the information to. ProTA begins with BS. I can't remember what Trendsetter's is right now. I was told that I would have to open a separate account for each. I didn't feel like I wanted to do that so I had to make a choice. I opted for ProTA. As I said, I just don't like the way Hotline works. To me, it seems like it has funny prompts, etc. ProTA seems far more Mac friendly, Mac oriented. Not only that, I was good at using Hotline too! -- Dow Beater
