Brooke,
Thanks for the info. I'll check out Silicon Investor. I did
finally read the help files <G>. My problem was that after I set up a
virtual directory of my existing MetaStock files, It apparently didn't
have any data ion it. When I tried to open a file in the virtual
directory with MetaStock, I just got a bland chart that was properly
formatted, but no data. I'm now thinking that maybe MetaStock can't
read virtual files. Is that right?
Jim

Take a look
