* ReadMe.txt file added to ssg directory on Stock Investor Pro disk

*************************************************
* The calculation of Bank Revenues (Sales) has been changed (7/28/00)

The new calculation is:

	Income Before Taxes - Non-Interest Expense

Note: The change was made per Inve$tWare's request.

*************************************************
* ReadMe.txt file added to ssg directory on Stock Investor Pro disk
  (1/31/99)

With the February release, a ReadMe.txt file has been added to the
ssg directory on the Stock Investor Pro disk. This file will now
outline any changes made to the Inve$tWare SSG-format data files
since the previous release.

*************************************************
* Modifications made to Inve$tWare SSG-format data files (Hi/Low
  prices coincide with fiscal periods, Reporting periods less than
  12 months dropped) (1/31/99)

For the February release, the hi/low stock prices reported for the
SSG files now coincide with fiscal reporting periods. With the
previous release, the hi/low stock prices were matched with
calendar periods.

Also for the February release, those reporting periods that have
less than 12 months are dropped for collecting both fiscal data
as well as hi/low stock prices. They are eliminated because periods
that are either less than or greater than 12 months make it more
difficult to make period-to-period comparisons within the
Investor's Toolkit program.

*************************************************
* Inve$tWare SSG-format data files added to Stock Investor Pro disk
  (12/31/98)

AAII is pleased to announce that from now on Inve$tWare
SSG-format data files will be included on the Stock Investor Pro
disk. These ASCII text files can be imported into the Inve$tWare
(NAIC) Investor's Toolkit. The files are located within the SSG
file folder on the Stock Investor Pro disk.

To import company data files into the Investor’s Toolkit program,
you must first specify from where you are importing the data
files, in this case the Stock Investor Pro disk. After making sure
the Stock Investor Pro disk is in your CD-ROM drive, go to Options
and Preferences in the Investor’s Toolkit program. At the
Preferences Screen, select the File Locations tab and click on
Browse under Default Data Path For NAIC DataFile Import. Select
your CD-ROM drive from within the Look In area, double-click on
the ssg directory to reveal the alphabetical sub-directories, and
then click on Ok. This will point the program to the location of
the SSG files. Once you are back at the Preferences Screen, click
Ok to exit.

To import companies, select File, Import Company, and NAIC
DataFiles. At the Import NAIC Data File window, type the ticker in
the space provided. Once the company name appears on the list,
click on Ok to view the company, or use your down arrow key to
advance the list so you can add additional companies. Once you have
entered in the last company ticker, click Ok. If you entered a
single company, clicking Ok will bring up that company’s Stock
Selection Guide. If you created a list of companies, they will be
saved directly into the database and will not be automatically
displayed. You must select File and Import Company to view the
companies that have been saved in the database and then select the
company you wish to view from that list.

A free demonstration copy of the Investor's Toolkit can be down-
loaded from Inve$tware's Web site (www.investware.com). You can
contact Inve$tWare directly at (954) 723-9910 or E-mail them at
info@investware.com.
