DollarLink News -- March 12, 2001

Nasdaq Below 2000

A couple of years ago, when the market was in a strong bull mode, we were scrambling to update DollarLink to be able to process the ever-increasing prices. Well, now it's the reverse. But since now we already have the procedure in place, it is easier and does not require upgrades of the program.

All you have to do to "fix" the Nasdaq Composite is to edit the text file ACCURATE. There is a line there that looks like

CMPQ,2000

With a text editor, such as EDIT (or Notepad if you are working in the Windows environment), modify that line to

CMPQ,1600

and save the file. Then restart DollarLink.

You may have to relax the error-checking that DollarLink enforces: once DollarLink is up and running, in text mode press Control+E and then the letter I. That's it. You only have to do this once.

Similary, NDX has also dropped below 2000. To "fix" that, edit the file REDUCE. There should be a line

$NDX,2000

Change that to 1600, e.g.,

$NDX,1600

and save the file.
