Guy:
Your postings are always worth reading. I fully agree with this one.
I think that the big problem with Equis is that they started up with the
old Compuserve(?) data file format. They have been unwilling or unable to
change to a better and easier to use format. I download from Telescan, the
downloads after a holiday are always pathetically slow. When I spoke to
Telescan they told me that there are 2 data formats that have this problem,
Equis and another (I forget the name). I'd also like to have a better data
management system with better and more flexible connection to Excel and an
interface with visual basic. A visual basic interface would enable us to
develop better indicators/explorations/systems, and do better testing.
Regards
Lionel
