<DIV><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=3>The below message is from Bryce Gilmore:
he sent it to me over Xmas. So the WaveTrader/CycleTrader is all setup for Year
2000. Bryce is working through the New Manual for the WT/CT 2000 version
so it is just a few weeks away. All of the Date and Solar Degree routines in the
ephemeris are working fine.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=3>I ran the new MetaStock data for the
months around the Year 2000 on my SuperCharts and also works fine except that it
calls 2000 as "100". So SuperCharts Version 4 is Year 2000
in a fashion. You can get used to it.<BR></FONT></FONT><BR>The drawbacks
of this style of data is that you can't use pre 1900 data in a big file.
But this is no problem for the new WaveTrader as it allows you to create Swing
Files with the CCCCYYMMDD format and will automatically update them</DIV>

<DIV>David,<BR><BR>It is clear to me that Metastock cannot afford to change
their data<BR>format in any significant way except to place a 1 in front of the
YYMMDD<BR>current format as CSI is proposing for the following reasons. They
may<BR>change their access routines to camouflage that files are
in<BR>subdirectories but that is about all. All Y2K software needs to
identify<BR>where dates are concerned is that they are either 1900 or 2000
century.<BR>This is easy because if the date begins with a 1 and is 7 digits
long it<BR>is year 2000 on. This process will last for the next 200 years
without<BR>fail.<BR><BR>MetaStock might be playing a game of cat and mouse but
be rest assured<BR>that all the other data vendors I know are preparing to
distribute data<BR>with the 1 before the YYMMDD in the date field and it will be
completely<BR>compatible with the current method of downloading data. If
someone<BR>decides to reinvent at this time in history everyone will give them
the<BR>flick.<BR><BR>1. The computer code algorithm will not
except anymore than 7 digits.<BR>If it did we would be able to go to dates like
CCYYMMDD but that is<BR>currently impossible unless one wanted to reconvert
every existing data<BR>base. (Highly unlikely)<BR><BR>2. The
WaveTrader/CycleTrader has been re-programmed to read and<BR>input dates in this
new format. If Metastock change from this protocol<BR>we will revert to only CSI
data format once again. I don't think that<BR>will happen and prefer the
Metastock file system.<BR><BR>3. Don't let anyone get worried
the only easy way for all data<BR>vendors is to put the 1 in front of the new
dates after year 2000.<BR><BR>4. The only aspect of change as
I see it is that the computer<BR>programs are upgraded to deal with these
changes.<BR></DIV>

ZOOM BOX PROBLEM:(using smart charts and retain scale checked)
when using the zoom box to zoom on any price chart, it works as it
should, but ALL OTHER CHARTS are now also zoomed to the same level.
(prior to the patch this was not the case- ie when returning to the
zoomed chart the scales would be back to preset x-date value)
