It's there you just have to find it. I bought it and finally received it.
Cost was $99 plus tax and shipping, I believe.
It's called, I believe the MetaStock File Library I believe.

Does anybody know what the status is on the Visual Basic interface to
MS-files?
Is it out yet?
What are the costs?
Maybe even experiences?
Thanks, Mark.

You might be able todo this using the new metstock program that has a
Visual
