I called Quotes Plus at 800-627-9637. They gave me information on their
service and on the new Release 2 that is coming out. They also have a web
page at http://www.quotes-plus.com/
Quotes Plus will only be updating the industry groups. They will not be
selling the IRL software which actually creates the indices. They told me
you put the QP CD database on your hard drive, about 2 years. Then you can
update your own IRL MetaStock database (the IRL CD - 5 yrs) thereafter. You
must have 2 databases. One for Quotes Plus (100 MB) and one for MetaStock 6.
There might have been a misunderstanding, but the gist of their answer was
you don't have to update the Quotes Plus database if you only want to update
the MetaStock database. Can someone confirm this for me?
My question is: Is it worth it to buy the subscription for the IRL software
updates, the IRL software which works with MetaStock and creates the indices?
I am referring to the software which does the actual work to create the
indices and not the IRL data since QP will be selling it. How much better is
the IRL software with each new IRL CD?

I have already bought IRL and at that time of purchase did not have access
of the fact that Quotes Plus would be coming out with indices groups from
IRL. If it is just 2 months more you may wish to consider viewing Quotes Plus
new program first before getting IRL. Note that you may try IRL under Equis
agreement for less than one month with an option of returning the CD for
refund minus shipping charges.
Where may I get info on the coming Quotes Plus program that is coming?

<<Any file received in ASCII format, which I believe QP's file is,>>
Not accurate. Quotes-Plus data comes to my house in a compressed form
via either an 800 number or internet. The included software offers a
variety of options. Scans which run far faster than Metastock Explorer
and then output a list which can in turn be used for yet another scan.
An automatic Metastock output that is directly readable by Metastock
and any other software that reads Metastock formatting such as
SuperCharts, WOW. And it will also output ASCII in a form the user may
design for his application.
Years ago Metastock and Technician were introduced to fill the marketing
opportunity open for a relatively low priced TA software to compete with
the established expensive product. Buyers rewarded your company by
massively purchasing Metastock and Technician. Now that your company is
faced with competition the shoe is suddenly on the other foot. But, it
is already too late for your company to continue with cornering the the
data market and software market. Why not keep what product and company
loyalty it has and return to the honorable tradition of competing in the
marketplace instead of trying to corner it?

This is to all users who own the Investor's Reference Library:
I am going to be using Quotes-Plus as my data provider. They are cheap and
convenient. In 2 months they will be coming out with industry groups from
the IRL. I am also going to buy the Investor's Reference Library. I don't
need the IRL data updates since I will be getting the updates from QP. One
IRL CD costs $90 and 4 cost $190. When you get the IRL subscription you get
software updates. My question is, is it worth it to buy the subscription
for
the IRL software updates?
Daniel.
