24 Dec 2008	Tom Cunningham	Uh, in the example, why is the 1883 High lower than the 1883 low? Still, it's a neat idea, I'll have to try it out! N/R till then! & Merry Christmas!
24 Dec 2008	Doug Hull	That is an excellent question. I can not get the data that produced that example (it was yesterday, no archives are on the site). Looking at the code, I don't know why it would be wrong. I put this in the category of ireproducible errors!
