Thank you
 you have saved me a lot of time

As with many other users of Amibroker I am very impressed with the support
from you and the group members.
I know I will learn a lot simply by following you all.

The Amibroker Program is also very impressive.
It is a very flexible and powerfull application limited only by my skill but
not my imagination.

Best Regards

Don
