QP2 / metastock calculation differences

To all,
I am only posting to this board because so many here are using QP2 for their
data supply.  I have noticed a calculation problem which I would like
someone to verify before I contact QP2.  This has to do with the MACD
calculations.  For example:

Stock Symbol: ALLE
Metastock:  MACD (0) = -0.1991,  MACDsignal(0) = -0.2496
                   MACD (-1) = -0.2581,  MACDsignal(-1) = -0.2622

QPChart:     MACD (0) = -0.2084,  MACDsignal(0) = -0.2624
                   MACD (-1) = -0.2712,  MACDsignal(-1) = -0.2759

QPScan:     MACD (0) = -0.1946,  MACDsignal(0) = -0.2426
                   MACD (-1) = -0.2563,  MACDsignal(-1) = -0.2546

 My reason for the concern is the crossover signal date.  In this case the
signal is triggered in the QPScan as of today when the QPchart and Metastock
has the signal triggered at least one or more days before.  Can anyone
verify these numbers and suggest if there is a problem or not?  I don't want
to alarm QP if not needed.

Secondly, why are all the numbers not exact?  The calculation is not that
complicated and all software is using the same data.

thanks in advance,
