Following earlier correspondence on this matter, a new zip has now
been uploaded and is available from:
http://www.amibroker.com/members/3rdparty/RPlugIn.zip
Basically, the previous manual contained a link to an older version
of the C++ runtime dependency, and in some (XP) instances it caused
the DLL not to apear in AB's plugin list. The new zip contains an
updated manual with the correct link to an updated runtime version.
In addition, there is a minor correction in the plugin (DLL) itself,
so I suggest you use this version.
Hopefully this issue is now solved.
