Bill:
You can multitask with Metastock-RT and Windows '95. I don't do any
thing fancy, but have run Excel, Supercharts 2.0 and Technifilter plus (in a
second Dos window) with no major problems. One thing you can't do is access
the real time files at the same time with the second program (too bad). They
will not update properly in my experience. No problem using the daily data
files. One other thing, get lots of memory. Hope this helps.
