Portfolio Updates

The following portfolios are
provided to facilitate Unfair Advantage users' use of third party
software. Please save to "c:\ua\archives\portfile.adm".

Software Upgrades
|
UA is undergoing some rapid
changes and seemingly unrelated features are sometimes broken or behave
differently than expected. Be sure to always make a backup copy your UA
directory (normally copy c:\ua to c:\uaold). so that you can back out
of unpleasant changes.
It is
generally not possible to overwrite a new version with an old
version. Always install these on top of your old versions, do not
uninstall your old version.
After
upgrading, a successful data download is necessary to gain total access
to market history.
Upgrades are cumulative, so the latest includes all fixes which were in
previous upgrades.
A $20.00 charge for replacement upgrade
discs may
apply
Note:
Running
UA loads certain DLL files into your computer's memory, which may be
replaced in the newer version. To assure that outdated DLL files do not
interfere with UA, please shut down and restart your computer before
installing an upgrade, and
again before running the upgraded program.
|
*** Important Uninstall Notice ***
|
UA's
uninstall function should only be used if UA is stored in it's own
subdirectory (probably C:\UA). Do not use uninstall if the
software was installed in the root directory on any of your drives (ex.
c:\ or d:\). Always back up your hard drive before
uninstalling any software products from your computer. |

First Listed: 4/29/2004
Released: 9/28/04
Known problems (Not fixed in this version)
- AnyLanguage
has been changed, and is not fully functional in this version. Do
not use this version if you are using AnyLanguage. At the very
least, you will need a new studylib.any which can be downloaded here.
- MS Format
works as well as in UA 2.8.0, but directories do not automatically roll
into subdirectories as they fill up.
- AmiBroker
import works better, but for some people, some symbols may not be
imported. But you need to download UA_AmiBroker_OleGoBetween.exe
and save it to your UA folder.
- An error
will occur when a contract is quoted earlier in the day and is then
missing later on the current day. History refresh is required to
fix the affected file.
- Detrending
of an Individual Futures Group does not work correctly.
- API function
RetrieveAdjAndUnadjStock does not work without MarketNumber being set
first.
- The API
clipboard functions produce an incorrect text format. The
Unadjust Close column is inserted after the Close column rather than
after Closing Ask column. Please use the VersionNumber property
to workaround this bug.
- Does not
install correctly on XP systems. Shortcuts launch in wrong
directory. The message is usually saying that the adortl60.bpl
file is missing.
