Fulin,

I have found the web sites for trading/scheduling systems. The following are the
web sites.

www.tpt.com/content_franklin.htm (this one I found myself)

www.hesinet.com/html/etrm.html

www.altra.com/prod1a2d.htm

www.alstrom.com (I found documentation, but can't direct you to it within their
site.)

I have some stuff printed out for each, let me know if you want copies.
