1. True or pink sheets
2. Because Equis will not share their 2000 dir programming with others, you
are stuck with 255 size directories, anyone that feels that it is not right
to restrict the directory to any number should call/email Equis. Unless you
have long term data that is important to keep, you can run many
filters/scans in QP to reduce to the stocks you would really trade rather
than all. the programming language allows complex scans that bring target
stocks down to less than 255. you still can have a list of symbols put into
a list by hand. You always have the 10,000+ you can look at in QP2.
3. yes point to the virtual files, they in turn will get data from QP
4. I would unless you have long term data, move those to one directory to
update.

Subject: QP2 Virtual Files et al
>I recently bought QP2 to eventually replace Reuters, since in the few weeks
I have been ID=800 to death. As a QP newbie (and a calendar oldbie), I have
a few questions to ask of the QP2 users out here.

>1) I guess that I won't be able to get quotes on Canadian Stocks from QP2.
Is this true?

>2) Do I have to break up my big Metastock Directories (1500-2000) stocks
per, to get them into Virtual Files. When I first tried this today it
seemed to be only picking up the first 255 stocks out of each directory.
>
>3) How do I get Metastock to look at the charts updated by QP2. Do I point
to the Virtual Profiles, instead of my Metastock Files.

>4) Lastly if all is working above can I now delete the Metastock Files.
