Article Abstract:

The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE) will postpone the full conversion of its computerized trading system to new system, and instead it will continue to employ the Computer Assisted Trading System, or CATS, until after Jan. 1, 2000. After Jan. 1, 2000, new state-of-the-art trading terminals and a new trading "engine" will be installed. The installation of the new trading technology was supposed to be finish in 1999. According to TSE President Rowland Fleming, the Torex technology is already partly in place in combination with the old CATS technology, adding the incorporated CATS/Torex technology is already fully year 2000 compliant.
