Furthermore Equis is selling a macro program for some $ 65 if I recall
correctely.
I still use Metastock 4.0 for those reasons and some others. >>
The advantage that the MS macros had over "generic" macros is that you could
"tag" several securities within a MS directory and have a particular macro
operate just against those that are tagged. The ability to "tag" a security
was quick and easy so if you wanted to run a different macro against a
different set of securities you could change your selection rapidly. I
bitched to MS about this loss when I upgraded to the Win95 version, and hope
that others have too. Yet, as you point out, the Win95 versions have other
advantages over the earlier versions.
