Patrick,

Equis is here in Salt Lake and I know the guy who started the company (haven't talked to
him in several years tho.)  You are aware, I assume, that he sold the company to Reuters.
I assume that the burning fire that led him to continually improve Metastock has burned
out and Reuters may not be encouraging anyone else to put forth that kind of effort.
