Vitaly,
I, too, am still using ver 5.11. The appearance and lack of chart space is
the exact reason I sent ver 6 back to Equis. I had talked with tech
support and they assured me there was no difference between the sizes of
inner window bars and title bars, and that I should actually have more
screen space for charts. At that time, I was still naive and believed tech
support when they said I was the only one experiencing this problem. After
30 days and nights, I gave up and went back to ver 5.11. If you can
resolve the problem to your satisfaction, please advise as I must now make
a decision because of Y2K. Also, since I am no longer using the Downloader
to retrieve my EOD data (using QP2), could I not still use ver 5.11 if I
went with QP2 Virtual files?
