Hi Anjam,

Thanks for the info.

I'm afraid that one thing I don't know is precisely how to build 
S:\Research\Exotica\Excel\Exotica.xla  from the code you sent me.
Could you send me instructions?

Also as you are very busy and away from your desk could you set up your lotus 
notes 
calendar so  Mary Ward and Joe Kelsey 
permission can see your calendar  so I can get in touch with you if anything 
comes up. They can both see my calendar.

Thanks,
Sharad

Hi Anjam,

I have quite a few questions/requests regarding the exotics libarary:




1)Could you e-mail me instructions for building/compiling  
S:\Research\Exotica\Excel\Exotica.xla 
Also if there is any more source code that I need please could you e-mail me 
that.

YOU HAVE ALL THE CODE (C & VBA) THAT MAKES UP THE LIBRARY NOW - PLEASE SEE 
PREVIOU E-MAILS

2)Also could you e-mail me documents on the changes you have made to  
S:\Research\Exotica\Excel\Exotica.xla

CHANGES ARE DOCUMENTED THROUGH ATERATIONS TO COMMENTS ON INDIVIDUAL SOURCE 
CODE FILES AS IS THe CURRENt METHOD IN HOUSTON AND As ADOPTED BY ME IN 
LONDON  - VERSION CONTROL OCCURS AT THE INDIVIDUAL FILE LEVEL RATHER THAN 
THROUGH SOIURCE SAFE

3)The exotica.xla used in London and exotica.xll used in Houston are quite 
different. What regression testing has been done?
How do we know if the two versions that we have been using produce the same 
results.

I HAVE NOT RECENTLY COMPARED THE XLL FROM HOUSTON WITH OUR XLA - THIS WOULD 
BE A USEFUL EXERCISE FOR YOU

4)Judging from the documentation there are quite a few more functions 
available on the Houston Exotica
like Asian spreads, quantos, digitals etc. Is there any reason why they have 
not been implemented in London's exotica.xla?

MAINTENANCE AND UPGRADES TO LONDON EXOTICA TO ENSURE COMPATABILITY WITH 
HOUSTON AND VICE VERSA IS AN ON-GOING PROCESS - INEVITABLY THERE WILL BE SOME 
LAG BETWEEN A NEW MODEL BEING IMPLEMENTED IN HOUSTON AND IN LONDON, AS IS THE 
CASE WITH ASIAN SPREADS AND DIGITALS.  QUANTOS ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE - SEE 
VBA CODE.

Thanks in advance,
Sharad
