Equis :
<P>Ever since installing the patch as suggested by tech support I continue
to have the following problems:
<P>Problem 1:
<BR>-----------
<BR>Assuming I have been collecting data from 9:30am est for a SnP futures
and the file is configured to collect data as 60min bars. If at 10am
I open my chart layout which displays 2 charts, SnP 60min bars and SnP
daily bars (compressed from the 60min data) the following occurs:
<P>(A) The most current bar of the 60min chart is incomplete. i.e.
it will only reflect the data from the time I open the chart rather than
from the beginning of the data that has been collected. To "brute
force" metastock to display the full bar I have to wait until after 10:30am
and then force the chart to redraw (either by closing and re-opening or
by changing the compression to daily and then changing back to 60min).
<P>(B) The most current bar of the daily chart (constructed from 60min
data) <I>overwrites</I> the previous bar. To display a correct chart
I have to wait until after 10:30am an then force the chart to re-draw.
<P>***I was under the impression that the patch would correct the above
compression problems which occurred before the patch was installed.***
Does this mean that the patch did not install correctly? Or are these
snazzy compression features still to be patched? Please advise.
<P>Problem 2:
<BR>-----------
<BR>I do not think the following problem existed pre-patch....
<P>Lets say I am collecting SnP data from 9:30am est and I have configured
collection in 60min bars. Now lets say that I have to re-boot my
pc for some reason at 1:15pm. So I close open charts, close metastock,
close the file server and then the data server. But the problem that
I have is that the data for the partial 60min bar 12:30pm - 1:15pm is lost!!!!
Pre-patch I am almost certain that when "writing from cache to disk" on
closing the file server, metastock would capture the partial bar.
<P>Is there some setting somewhere that I have overlooked.
<BR>
<P>ALSO: At the end of last week I was exchanging emails with equis support
on the issue on not being able to compress data into bars of say 4hr (240min)
intervals. I was hoping that this ball was still in the air.
Please advise.
<P>Thanks in advance
<BR>

to metastock support or whoever might know :
I have heard that Equis sells a interface library to access metastock files. Is there a
prototypes file (ie prototypes.h) or call discription in existance somewhere so I may see what kind of interface I would be buying ?
thx
