Moin Wolfgang,

I guess so, too.
SO, WORD 6.0 IT IS GOING TO BE!!

Yep, the "Service Pack" for Office97 is now available
for the German version as well. For those who're interested: Win97 has
a new internal format which is _not_ compatible with Word6. Before the
SP, the only way to make Word97 files readable to Word6 was to convert
them to RTF-files which Word6 had to convert in its turn. The main functionality
of the SP is to enable Word97 to save its files in the original Word6 format.
Btw. the only reason I upgraded to Office97 was
the multi-level undo in Excel and the finally coherent impementation of
Visual Basic for Applications across Word, Excel and Access.

You are sooo right. I come from the Netherlands (& will retain
my nationality) but have been living in Germany for 25+ years, now. I live
in Cologne but work in Munich, so you might say I'm a Weekend-Commuter.
Although I work for a bank (Muenchener Hypothekenbank
eG), I'm a professional programmer (C++ etc.), and for me playing the market
is just that: a hobby. As I'm only 9 years from retirement, our money is
very solidly invested (+/- 70% bonds, +/- 20% stocks (using a modified
Higgins system (cf. The Motley Fool))). With a very, very small amount
of what's left over, I play the market: Warrants only. Btw. no insider
knowledge here because my bank only issues 'pfandbriefe' (translation ???).
>As you seem very proficient at Metastock ...
Thank you, but I'm not. For guys who're really proficient in MS, turn
to people like Larry Estes and others. I started the wish list because
I'm studying Chande & Kroll, focussing on variable time in indicators.
Nearly every time I try to implement one of their ideas, in MetaStock I
run up against a stone wall. The fact that MS, in my eyes arbitrarily,
refuses to accept time as a variable in almost all cases has been driving
me crazy *). Or can anyone understand why the humble Sum(C,T) refuses to
accept T as a variable???
*) Almost. Here's some good advice for MS-Users and Traders in general:
When in Trouble or in Doubt,
Run in Circles, Scream and Shout.
(cit. Robert Heinlein)
>I would like to talk to you on the phone one evening.
What a nice idea. Here's my phone#: +31 89 5387 691 That's my office#
but you can reach me there nearly every evening fm Mon thru Thu up to 19:00
or so, studying THE CHARTS ;-)
Kind Regards & Happy Trading to You & Everyone Else on the list,
Jan Willem Roberts
