>> THE MUTUAL FUND TRACKER NEWS <<
The format of the price history file, beginning with Version 3.4 of
The Mutual Fund Tracker, was enhanced. Therefore, if you get data on a
subscription basis, you will need to upgrade to Version 3.4 of The Mutual Fund
Tracker. This is a FREE upgrade!
If you have created and saved your own data, with prior versions, and
want to upgrade to Version 3.4 of The Mutual Fund Tracker, you will need to
convert your data to the new format. There is a program named CONVDMFT.EXE
that will do the job for you. It is included in the self-extracting file named
CONVERT.EXE, which is distributed with The Tracker Utilities.
The Mutual Fund Tracker documentation is in two hyper-text type
executable files. They may be read or printed by typing MFTDOC1 or MFTDOC2 at
the DOS prompt. If possible, we recommend that you print both sections of the
documentation.
Read the file named THEFACTS.TXT. It includes some interesting facts
about The Tracker Programs. If you use Prodigy, read the PRODIGY.KIT file.
They may be printed or read with your word processor or text editor.
