Thank you Jim,
Those are very encouraging words and I appreciate them very much.
I know that the majority of users that post to this forum are somewhat beyond what PowerScan has to offer although they may find it useful to perform quick stock screens, it really depends on individual style of trading/investing etc.
Although only a relatively limited number of Amibroker users regularly post to this forum there are many who read these posts. Since the first announcement of PowerScan I've had some interest from Amibroker users who contact me privately. I also wonder how many potential users decide coding is all too difficult and move to something more graphical...
Regarding support, those who register (when this becomes available) will be entitled to 12 months email support, there is also a PowerScan yahoo group where users can exchange between one another (the same as Amibroker).
For the near future PowerScan will remain as it is, I'm currently concentrating on bugs, documentation and installation issues. There have already been a number of interesting feature requests which may be implemented over the next 12 months, apart from this I cannot promise anything more.
Thanks again for your vote Jim.
Regards,
William Peters

I have noticed that no one on this board has commented on this new
software tool for Amibroker. (I realize that many here can write AFL
in their sleep)
I will comment.
Thank you William Peters for your excellent work. This new Powerscan
AFL Interface tool will no doubt enable many new (and older, AFL
challenged) Amibroker users to better understand AFL and to create
their own scans etc... with no difficulty at all. It will no doubt
bring new users to Amibroker, which will benifit both you and Thomasz.
Your Powerscan tool is very much appreciated and I personally thank
you for the hard work you put (and continue to put) into it.
With Amibroker/Thomasz, the standard of frequent improvements and
stellar support has been well set. I expect (and hope) that you will
try to follow in Thomasz's footsteps.
I will be looking forward to each new beta release.
I will vote for AmiBroker/Powerscan as the #1 BEST STANDALONE
ANALYTICAL SOFTWARE for the 2004 TASC Readers Choice Awards.
Best Regards
Jim
