---  NEW PEERCOMM.exe FOR GETTING DATA FROM DIAL DATA ---
-----------------------------------------------------1/13/2004------------------------------------------------------------
..............................................Tuesday evening....................................................

1.  The NYSE index has been changed.  Dial Data has changed its symbol from *NYE to *NYA.
That has forced a revision to the PEERCOMM program.   This change also affects our
software's ability to get new data on stocks.


The problem is fixed by downloading the revised PEERCOMM.exe and place it in c:\peercomm.
It will let you update your stock data and get data for new symbols.  It will let you
update the indices. 

Some of the NYSE index data last year had to be hand-entered.  The new NYSE Index
data can be downloaded here.   It will also give you the current DJI, OEX, SP-500, NASDAQ,
Value Line and Hourly DJI.  This will be updated here until next Monday night.
After that, you may want to arrange with us to provide this index data.  

Some additional instructions:
You will want to SAVE the revised peercomm.exe
into the directory C:\peercomm.  Click on the link to it here
and then use the Right-Mouse key. That will cause the
computer to ask: Where to save it? The correct reply is c:\peercomm

Opening it from the web will not save it.

When you save it correctly, you will be asked if you want
the new version to overwrite the old version...The answer is YES.

When you run the new version of PEERCOMM, you will
see the revision date 1-8-2004 at the lower right.

A second correction is also needed to let you build new directories.
12/12/2003  Dial Data users, once a year update the data files (AA.txt, DATES.txt and DJI.txt)
            in c:\peerless\tigsetup so that when you build a new stock directory your filler files's dates
           will not be more than 2 years old.)  Otherwise, if you have only a 2-years data subscription to Dial Data
           and you try to build a new directory and then use it, you will get an error message.  This
           fixes that...Click on this link and OPEN the  resulting MDNEWDIR.exe on line. This is
           a required fix now also because Dial Data is missing some of the NYSE data
           that is needed in the stock downloading.

If more fixes are needed, they will be posted here.

Hope this helps. Call if you need help - 858-571-3115
