Would it be possible to add CONTRACT SIZE to the Real Time Stock Options database? splits, mergers and acquisitions often affect the contract size, causing it to deviate from the normal 100/shares per contract value. Option traders definitely need to know this important value, and if it could be available in the feed, it would be greatly appreciated.

There are about 145 different options roots that DTN is sending through the satelite feed that are odd sized contracts. Of course, the trouble that you will have is that these funny contracts aren't always just 110 shares of the underlying or something that can simply be handled with a contract size. Some odd sized options are odd contract size and then some cash and then possibly some number of shares from a 2nd and/or 3rd company.
The way your data feed is, it most likely won't be easy to show all that odd contracts represent, but at least having a flag to let users know that the root is a funny one would help.
