  <P>This patch will upgrade anyone with <B>MetaStock for Windows End-of-Day 
  version 6.5</B>. This will work on any 6.5 install or from any previous 6.5 
  patch. This patch contains the Euro and Y2K adjustments and will update your 
  version of The DownLoader to 6.52 also. <BR><EM>(dated 2/8/99, 4.8 
Mb)</EM></P>
  <P>We recommend everyone owning MetaStock for Windows 6.5 use this patch. To 
  find out if you own this version choose About from the MetaStock Help 
menu.</P>
  <P>Download the file and double-click on it. The patch will install 
  automatically. Once it is installed you will receive a message telling you the 
  programs were successfully patched. After the patch has installed, reboot your 
  computer to run MetaStock for Windows.</P>
  <P>This Patch will patch open files. If you inadvertently apply this patch 
  while MetaStock is running the patch will continue and tell you that you must 
  reboot for the changes to take affect. When you reboot the files that were 
  open will be updated. Note: If you do not reboot and try to run MetaStock for 
  Windows, it will not run correctly.</P><B>
  <P>Please note the following to try and avoid problems when utilizing this 
  patch:</B><BR>If you upgraded version 6.5 to version 6.52 with a previous 
  patch and then re-installed version 6.5 to a new different folder this patch 
  will update the version 6.5 in the new folder. It WILL NOT update the previous 
  patched 6.52 version because it will look at the 6.5 registry key to find 
  version 6.5. This will point to the new folder not the old 6.52 folder. This 
  patch will give you a complete version 6.52 in the new folder...</P>
  <P>However, if you have deleted the registry entries and have not re-set them 
  by entering the Tools|Options dialog and pressing OK or by re-installing 
  version 6.5 then this patch will probably fail. If you have a problem with 
  this patch, and you are certain you downloaded the entire file (4.8 Mb) you 
  should uninstall version 6.5 and reinstall it. Then, run this patch to bring 
  you to version 6.52.</P>

  <P>This patch will upgrade anyone with <B>MetaStock for Windows 95 &amp; NT 
  End-of-Day version 6.52</B>, if you used the patch dated 1/22/99 to update 
  your version 6.5, or installed MetaStock for Windows 95 &amp; NT End-of-Day 
  version 6.52 from a new version 6.52 CD-ROM. If you used an earlier dated 
  patch to update from version 6.5 to version 6.52, you should reinstall version 
  6.5 and utilize the full patch. This patch contains fixes for the &quot;Date 
  requested is after the last date in the data&quot; error when opening charts. 
  This patch also corrects a problem in The DownLoader for Windows 95 &amp; NT 
  &quot;Traverse Destination Folders&quot; during conversions as well as the 
  conversion of intra-day data files. <BR><EM>(dated 2/8/99, 587 kb)</EM></P>
  <P>We recommend everyone owning MetaStock for Windows 95 &amp; NT 6.52 dated 
  1/22/99 (program build date 1/21/99) or later use this patch. We also 
  recommend everyone owning The DownLoader for Windows 95 &amp; NT version 6.52 
  use this patch. To find out if you own this version choose <B>About</B> from 
  the MetaStock <B>Help </B>menu. (Or The DownLoader <B>Help</B> menu (where 
  appropriate)).</P>
  <P>Download the file and double-click on it. The patch will install 
  automatically. Once it is installed you will receive a message telling you the 
  programs were successfully patched. After the patch has installed, reboot your 
  computer to run MetaStock for Windows 95 &amp; NT.</P>
  <P>This Patch will patch open files. If you inadvertently apply this patch 
  while MetaStock is running the patch will continue and tell you that you must 
  reboot for the changes to take affect. When you reboot the files that were 
  open will be updated. Note: If you do not reboot and try to run MetaStock for 
  Windows 95 &amp; NT, it will not run correctly</P></LI></UL>
