John:
After the July 4th weekend data slowdown screw up, I switched to Quotes
Plus. I am much happier. No download delays after a 3 day weekend, cleaner
data, quick response to queries, and the program offers me all that I used
in Telescan at 1/2 the price.
Take a look at this program and also at StockWiz.
According to Telescan, the Metastock Downloader and the Telescan system are
not very compatable.
If you need Telescan's subscription services, get your data elswhere and
continue Telescan for everything else.
Hope this helps
Lionel
