SUMMARY
=======
 
CheckFree Services discontinued subscription based quotes service on
April 30, 1998. This decision was made due to the widespread availability
of free investment quotes on the Internet.
 
Microsoft Money 99, Money 98 or Money 97 offer free investment
quotes through the Internet, on the MSN Investor site at:
 
   http://investor.msn.com
 
In addition, Money 99 or Money 98 Financial Suite customers qualify for a
free six-month subscription to the subscriber areas of Investor
where you can obtain quotes, trading information and mutual fund pickers as
part of your subscription.
 
This article describes how to switch from using subscription based Online
Quotes to using Internet Quotes in Money, and also explains how
to enroll for your free six-month subscription to Investor.
 
Important Note: For Microsoft Money versions 3 and 4 customers, there is no
alternative at this time.
