<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>Hi Jim,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I heard about the Technifilter program from Frank
Gaylord, and bought the Dos version. I liked it so much, I also bought the new
version, and it compliments Metastock perfectly.....they both use the same file
format (Metastock) and since I use the Chartcraft version of Point and Figure
charting, I find the configurability of the point and figure searches to be
unique. As far as I know, there is no other software commercially available that
will do what Technifilter 8.1 does. It's also nice to be able to create lists in
text format and automate all your searches together. As for speed, I think the
Windows format slows TF8.x down a little from the Dos version. (but since it's
automated, you just leave it alone and come back to it, when it's
done.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Metastock has strengths that TF8 doesn't have and
visa versa, so I'd recommend both.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, the tech support doesn't get any better than
Clay at Rtr/Technifilter.</FONT></DIV>

-<BR><BR>I prefer TechniFilter Plus 7.1 (the older DOS version; I do
not yet have the newer Windows version) over The Explorer in MetaStock 6.5
because it is so efficient in calculating single or multiple, nested or not
nested filters, automatically or manually. I've used this and earlier
versions of TechniFilter from the early days, when EQUIS International sold
it, before some of what TechniFilter did was incorporated in MetaStock as
The Explorer. It seems to me that The Explorer has lagged behind
TechniFilter in power and ease of use.<BR><BR>I see no reason that EQUIS
International cannot build The Explorer into a filtering entity that rivals
TechniFilter Plus if MetaStock users and other Technical Analysis folks tell
them that we what List-building capabilities, nesting capabilities,
Trendline generation and automation to name a few, all in a module that
calculates about twice as fast as it does now (it takes The Explorer just
under twice as long as TechniFilter Plus 7.1 to calculate basically the same
filter; also remember that TechniFilter Plus 7.1 is DOS, which, I assume, is
inherently faster than the Windows 95 and NT MetaStock 6.5 The Explorer, so
this comparison may not be apple and apples, but rather apples and
oranges).<BR><BR>Please understand I believe that MetaStock 6.5's The
Explorer can and does get the job done to the user's profit and that I wish
to see it do so more efficiently. <BR><BR>

All of the discussion about Technifilter has whetted my interest, but I
can't find a site for them. Can someone point me in the right
direction, either on or off the web?
Thanks,
Leo
