IF was created in 1994, and the transition to FX happened in July 1996, according to my mail archives. So I would say that the veracity of HSX's claim to be the longest CONTINUOUSLY OPERATING exchange depends on whether they started before or after July 24, 1996. The transition from IF to FX attempted to maintain account balances and markets that were already in operation, but there were some glitches. Others might point to the fact that they did maintain account balances and running markets through the transition (however rocky the transition might have been) to say that FX is a continuously operating successor to IF, no different than any other software rev.
