David, I note that there has not been a single response to your question from the Legacy staff. I would have thought it a simple thing for them to have supplied the answer to your question, yet they have not done so. Additionally I believe there should be an appendix to the Legacy manual that provides both the logic, and the formulas used for all calculated numeric data. Just like unsourced entries in our databases, unexplained statistics are useless!
So, Legacy staff, what are the answers your customers are asking for?
