Gary, unless they have changed the copyright, it is my understanding that
I can do whatever I want with the feed as long as I restrict it to my
computer only. I'll just read the copyright closely when I get the
software. Thanks for your interest.
Do others have comments on this. I thought we have resolved this in the
xpress-list over the last few years.
