Re: MS 6.5 - Y2K ?

[leo <leo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good Morning,

Could you give a forecast date for the 6.52 Metastock for Windows release ?

                                   and

Will the 6.52 version be totally compatible with Window 98 ?
             ( Charttip and different little problems to access  the files
corrected ?)


Happy New Year,

Best Regards

Robert Vialet
