WARNING!!!!!!<BR><BR></DIV></FONT>It's sort of a <B><I>Catch-22</I></B>
situation. You can't read the README.TXT file until you unzip it and
if you unzip it, it erases your directory structure! I don't blame the
zip file itself. The lack of installation instructions at the
Quotemonster page where I got it isn't completely to blame. <B><FONT

<P>Well, I hooked up my old hard drive as slave. Using PartitionMagic
I deleted the empty partition and copied from the old hard drive to the
new. There are other little steps, such as hiding the old HDD
partitions which I won't get into. After rebooting, I downloaded the
Quotes-Plus2 data I needed, from 10/07/98 no less, and allowed the database
to update. <B><FONT color=#006600>Total time for downloading and

After this fiasco, I am going to use the empty space on my 6.4 GB HDD as
backup space. Because I use DriveSpace3, it should be easy to create a
2 GB FAT partition and 5 volumes in it.</FONT>

Getting Metastock data from V4 is a royal pain and slow!!!!!!!! my only
real gripe. scanning is not very powerful compared to QP2 but a lot of
people find that as a bonus. Other than I really liked V4.
