Using WinBatch to Access QuotesPlus Data

["Chip Anderson" <chipa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Any WinBatch and QuotesPlus users out there (http://www.WinBatch.com)?
After a titanic struggle, I was finally able to get WinBatch to read data
directly from the QP2 database using the QP2 DLL.  This allows anyone to
grab price data, perform whatever kind of calculation you want, and then
send the results to just about any Windows app you can imagine - including
the Downloader and/or MetaStock. You can even write out the results to a
text file.  I find WinBatch easier to use and more powerful than Excel
macros or Visual Basic for most situations - and it's free!

Here's a link to a sample WinBatch file that displays the latest NYSE
Advancers info in a message box: http://StockCharts.com/QP2Test.txt
This sample can easily be adapted to work with any security in QP2's huge
database.  Please let me know if you find this useful.

Enjoy!
