<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>There are several improvements that I would like
to see made in the next version of MetaStock. If there is a fix for any of these
problems I would appreciate any suggestions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>1. I update 8000 plus stocks for my IRL files on
a weekly basis. I update my Index database and about 150 stocks on a nightly
basis. The 8000 plus stocks are in 100 plus industry groups. When the downloader
function starts it first checks the files from the previous download. This means
that if my last download was the 8000 plus variety I have to sit through 2-3
minutes of wasted time as the downloader verifies the previous 8000 plus files
even if I only want to download 1 stock. Why is it necessary to sit through the
process of verification of the previous download list when that list is not the
list which I want to use during the current download.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>2. When opening files in MetaStock across
different directories I have found that if you change the file type from Smart
Chart to Chart after navigating to a new directory I get booted out of the new
directory. It seems to be necessary to select the file type change before
navigating to a new directory.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>3. I have had problems adding certain symbols to
charts in the past and the current version 6.51 seems to have this problem. If I
select some of the arrow or thumb symbols the symbol disappears when I move the
cursor to the chart. If I try to drop the symbol on the chart a symbol will
appear but it can not be place accurately since the mouse is
invisible.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>If there is a solution to any of these problems
I welcome any suggestions. Thanks.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>

If not all above is shown as "a full link" to the site, then manual add to the adress in Internet Explorer.
It's available as a single or as part of the Power Toys set of programs from Microsoft.
Also better known as some of the programs Bill forgot, as such its not on the Win95-Cdrom.
---------------------
WELCOME to POWERTOYS
---------------------
This folder contains a series of "PowerToys"-- UI enhancements for advanced Win95 users--
that can be easily installed on any recent build of Windows 95.
These enhancements were developed by members of the Microsoft Win95 team, and are now
being made available to Win95 users at no cost. NOTE: these are not part of any
shipping retail product at this point in time, and therefore are not supported
through any official support channels. Use "at your own risk".
(See official disclaimer below.)
The contents of this folder will be updated over time as we make enhancements to the
utilities you see here now, and as we add new utilities for people to try out. Stop
back every now and then and see what's changed.
LIABILITY DISCLAIMER -- READ BEFORE INSTALLING THE POWERTOYS:
The PowerToy software and documentation is provided for your personal use and may not
be distributed. The entire risk arising out of the use or performance of such
products and documentation remains with you. In no event shall Microsoft or its
suppliers be liable for any damages whatsoever (including, without limitation,
damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business
information, or other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use of or inability
to use the products or documentation, even if Microsoft has been advised of
the possibility of such damages. Because some states/jurisdictions do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental
damages, the above limitation may not apply to you.
The HTML Driver v1.0
--------------------
This PowerToy is installed and used like a printer driver (see below) and allows
some Windows applications to generate HTML files that do not support a "Save As HTML"
option. Text that would have been sent to a printer is intercepted and written to
a file with an .htm extension. Embedded DIBs and bitmaps are converted to JPEG and
written to .jpg files, with pointers embedded in the .htm file. The .htm file is
then suitable for publishing on the World Wide Web and viewing by a variety of Web
browers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer 1.0 and 2.0. The HTML Driver uses
heuristics to determine the intent of the application, such as alignment and
columnar output. In some cases, it may be necessary to hand edit the HTML file
to produce optimal output.
NOTE: The HTML Driver works only under Windows 95 and portions of the software
are based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group.
Features:
- Produces editable HTML files.
- Embedded DIBs and bitmaps are saved to separate JPEG files, including to separate
directories (if desired).
- Columns and Tabs are simulated by HTML Tables.
- Supports HTML Tables within Tables. Currently, the only browser to support this
feature is Internet Explorer 2.0.
- Auto invoke of Web Browser (option).
- Puts horizontal rules between pages.
- Retains text formatting, including Font info for IE 2.0.
- Supports long file names.
- Supports URL addressing for JPEG files.
Known Problems and Limitations:
- Does not support object level drawing applications, such as Corel Draw.
- Word Table output is poor.
- Heuristics currently support only simpler, text based applications.
- A page consisting of a single line will not be aligned properly.
Installing the HTML Driver PowerToy
------------------------------------
1.Create a temporary folder for the PowerToy: Right-click on the desktop and
choose New:Folder from the pop-up menu. Name the folder anything unique, such as TEMP.
2.Download the HTML Driver PowerToy: Click the link on the PowerToy page to download
the HTML driver. Choose Save As and select the temporary folder you just created. If you created the TEMP folder on
your desktop, it will be found in c:\windows\desktop\TEMP.
3.De-compress the file you've downloaded: Open the temporary folder and double-click
the EXE file you downloaded. This will create several new files in your temporary folder.
4.From the START button, select Settings and then Printers. Double click on Add Printer.
This will start the Add Printer Wizard.
5.Specify a Local Printer.
6.Choose "Have Disk". When asked "Copy manufacturer's files from:", enter the full path
and folder name that you used to hold the temporary files. For the above example,
you would enter "c:\windows\desktop\TEMP" and click Next. Alternatively, you can click the Browse button and browse for
this directory.
7.Select "Microsoft HTML Driver" and click Next.
8.The port doesn't matter here, so click Next again.
9.Select No for Default.
10.The driver is now installed and may be selected from inside an application.
You may delete the temporary folder and its contents.
Uninstalling the HTML Driver
----------------------------
1.From the Start Button, select Settings and then Printers.
2.Select the Microsoft HTML Printer Driver and hit the Delete Key.
3.When prompted to delete driver specific files, say Yes.

Powertoys
=========
If you like letting other people run your life go ahead and press that
cute little button with the house on it... but if you're like the Windows
95 Shell Development Team, you've got to have things your way, and it
better be right now.
For these team members, there can never be enough shortcuts for getting
stuff done. They've come in late at night, night after night, when
everyone else is sound asleep -- real programmers don't sleep -- and put
together a set of tools: the PowerToys.
They wrote 'em. We like 'em. We think you will, too. So if you're a
Windows 95 power-user, go ahead and try them out... but don't go crying to
our Help Center if you get confused: there's no lifeguard on duty, so
you're swimming at your own risk. Don't get us wrong -- they all do what
they should -- but they are not part of Windows 95, and are not supported
by Microsoft.
So that's the story. If you think you're ready, go ahead and follow the
simple setup instructions to download the PowerToys.
