<DIV><FONT size=2>Here is the Feb 23td, 1999 EquisSupport-mail on the Y2K
update subject.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Below it is also the publicly-announcement-letter (that was
also mentioned in the mail).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> </FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>It also strongly suggests to upgrade from 6.0 to
6.52, either <barely> by only getting</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the U$10.00 special "Sept99 -upgrade to 6.52- CdRom" or
<dressed up> from aquiring</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the regular 6.0 to 6.52 update (that includes many items, like
updated books+DataCdRom).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I don't think you have followed and/or read all the
information we have<BR>posted over the last few months. It has been in the
Monitor and on our<BR>web site. I didn't say we didn't "give a good
damn." I said we won't<BR>support the program any more.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The company decision was to not make any version prior to 6.52
Y2K<BR>compliant. We set a version level and have not kept it a
secret. Most<BR>software companies are not fixing older versions of their
software for<BR>many reasons, not the least of which is costs
involved.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am not telling you not to use the program. I am
telling you, as<BR>stated publicly before, that we are not going to support it
anymore. I<BR>also am not telling you it will or won't work
properly. I am telling<BR>you that we are not supporting it and therefore
have not tested it<BR>against Y2K data.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Companies must draw the line somewhere. We are not
supporting anything<BR>prior to version 6.52 for Y2K compatibility.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>We are also not trying to make money on the Y2K issue.
Here is a<BR>letter, also to be published publicly, which we have been sending
to<BR>people who ask about the Y2K issue. In it, we state that you can
get<BR>version 6.52 without manuals for $10.00 beginning September 1, 1999
no<BR>matter what version of MetaStock you currently own.</FONT></DIV>
