Re: historical data cdrom

["A.J. Maas" <anthmaas@xxxxxx>]

Thanks again, Doc.

But, can you explain 'running' the file a bit more?
-After downloading from the Web, put the file in C:\Temp.
-Double click, it will then automatically self-extract another
65symbol32.exe file to the C:\Equis\Dlwin folder
-Go to the Dlwin folder and double click the extracted file
-Then you will end up with an error message from the Dosbox
"searching for 65symbol32.exe"
-Dosbox is "finished" automatically  
-Close this Dosbox at the upper right or like you usually close(with "Esc")
-The update process has completed

Is this the correct way to run the "update.exe" on onces computer?
Does it mean the update process is succesfully completed?

With the Symbol Look Up function, the results are the most extensive info
on symbols(includes exchanges info) I have come accross in Metastock, how:
-can I print or copy these "extensive" reports, as this part of the program, like
more parts, is not MSOffice97 compatible, ole linking to MSOffice97 is not
applicable, let alone "copy&paste" or "Ctrl+C".  

Regards, Ton.
