We are pleased to announce that PC-SPAN version 4.02c is now available.

With version 4.02c, for the first time you can use PC-SPAN for the three London exchanges cleared by the London Clearing House (LCH): London International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE), London Metals Exchange (LME), and International Petroleum Exchange (IPE). Please note that PC-SPAN supports London SPAN files only in the version 3 or 4 format, and that version 4 is preferred. London SPAN risk parameter files are available at www.lch.co.uk.

Version 4.02c also fixes two bugs in scanning-based ("method 4") intercommodity spreading, which could result in incorrect results for portfolios with products which participate in scanning-based spreads. For this reason, we strongly recommend that all PC-SPAN users upgrade to the new version.

Version 4.02c is a "maintenance release", and is available without charge to registered users, who may download the updated version from our software distribution web site at www.cme-ch.com. New copies may be purchased at www.digibuy.com --- click on "Shop Digibuy" and search for "PC-SPAN".  For more information, contact the CME's SPAN Hotline at 312-648-3888.
