<DIV><FONT size=2>Hello Equis Support,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>My 1st question's "The qoute to be completed" as you refer to
it, stems from my original reply mail</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=2>(printed <FONT size=2>right here below)
</FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT size=2>to Cheryl's original <FONT
size=2>"PowerBASIC"-mail that she had send to the </FONT></FONT><FONT
size=2>MetaStock-List</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=2>and </FONT>which reply-mail I forgot to
</FONT><FONT size=2>also sen<FONT size=2>d </FONT></FONT><FONT size=2><FONT
size=2>on </FONT></FONT><FONT size=2>SEPERATLY </FONT><FONT size=2>to her at
</FONT><FONT size=2>Equis Support as well</FONT><FONT size=2>. Anayway,
that</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>mail is also printed -more further down-
below.</FONT><FONT size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The issue here at stake is </FONT><FONT
size=2>Cheryl's statement <FONT size=2>at the bottom of her </FONT><FONT
size=2>mail, right below </FONT>the </FONT><FONT size=2>"new MSX's</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>non-accessability </FONT><FONT size=2>to the
GUI/DLL"-section</FONT><FONT size=2>, eg about the functionalities that MSX
cannot </FONT><FONT size=2>and the newer</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>MetaStock PRO 7.0 </FONT><FONT size=2>and </FONT><FONT
size=2>EOD 7.0-versions supposeably CAN</FONT><FONT size=2> perform. We, your
buyers+users, are here</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>sort of </FONT><FONT size=2>left in the dark as to the
clearity of the statement:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>> Things that you cannot do with an MSX DLL
include:<BR></FONT><FONT size=2>> * GUI functions including plotting and user
dialogs.<BR>> * Access the standard MetaStock built-in functions from within
your DLL</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>> This capability is already in MetaStock Professional 7.0
and will be in the<BR>> upcoming MetaStock End-Of-Day 7.0.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>So far, your users/buyers unawareness of this "capability
to access the GUI or my DLL already being included or</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>to be </FONT><FONT size=2>included in the newer programs"
requires a more detailed explanation to the extend of how this can</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>be seen in relation to what your users already had
(read: I do not know of it and so do many other users not know about
it),</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>and since this will be a new feature:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>
-than how is this been </FONT><FONT size=2>added, eg previous program
versions weren't equiped with these features.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Sometime back in 1995, in </FONT><FONT size=2>your Spring 1995
No.2 (or 3) </FONT><FONT size=2>Monitor-NewsLetter you made already a public
announcement</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>to that extend, "that Visual Basic as a programming language
is being added", but up till </FONT><FONT size=2>now, so far, have yet to
see</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the "prosperous deeds being put into action".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Therefore again please 'end' the "unfinished
quote":</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>
<DIV><FONT size=2>"For accessing the above functionalities, wich are most
intresting to users in/for </FONT><FONT size=2>their
automation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>+programming efforts on program's 'daily usage'
functionalities and of which most of these are</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>held in dll, ocx or com files and for which most are also
commonly shipped with any other</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>applications/programs and which access is therefore also
usualy provided for free by most</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>software-makers, eg via their program's being (VB) Visual
Basic-compatable, you can...............</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>...................................................................................................................................".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If this answering is to pre-mature, impossible and front running on later
this year to be announced news that you will</DIV>
<DIV>finally add the missing "straight-forward programming access to your
program" feature, than I am afraid "that's to late", eg</DIV>
<DIV>overhere it is the talk of the town (but will be a major dessalution
if adding it gets posponed again, eg and a tremoundous</DIV>
<DIV>slap in the face for the advancees having had bought program on
"programming features" recommendations).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think it also calls for you to explain the working structure and its
future of the earlier announced (see Cheryl's mail below)</DIV>
<DIV>but on pure DOS based PowerBASIC program that had a virtual Windows
compatabillity (Win32s) added (DOSbox), but</DIV>
<DIV>which very old DOS and Win3.11 techniques will be limited + cut down in use
and cease to exist in the future Windows OS</DIV>
<DIV>versions (2k+, 64-bit).</DIV>
<DIV>(Microsoft has announced that in future programs it will not
allow these virtual machines to operate anymore, eg access</DIV>
<DIV>to DOS (Win3.1) will not be available anymore either (perhaps not on
start up)).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you kindly for forwarding the other 2 questions on to your design
dep., of which only the latter 3td-€URO</DIV>
<DIV>is "cosmetic and of a less pranging importance" urgence, but surely know
that you+your designers can see the</DIV>
<DIV>importance in adding the 2nd question's (also cosmetic(?))
Switches&Parameters features to the program.</DIV></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Subject: Increasing the MetaStock(R) Formula Language with MetaStock
7</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>> I've noticed several emails lately discussing MetaStock's
Formula Language<BR>> capabilities. I would like to take this time to
introduce you to a new<BR>> feature added in MetaStock 7. The new
MetaStock External Function (MSX)<BR>> Application Programming Interface
(API), available in the MetaStock<BR>> Developer's Kit, allows software
developers to dynamically add externally<BR>> defined functions to the
MetaStock Formula Language, in MetaStock version<BR>> 7.0 and later.<BR>>
<BR>> When MetaStock initializes, it scans a pre-defined folder, looking for
any<BR>> DLLs that correctly implement the MSX API. When an MSX DLL is
found, the<BR>> functions that it implements are automatically added to the
MetaStock<BR>> Formula Language.<BR>> These new functions can be used to
create Custom Indicators, Explorations,<BR>> System Tests and Expert Advisors
using MetaStock's formula tools.<BR>> The MSX API supports any programming
language that meets the following<BR>> criteria:<BR>> * exports DLL
functions by name <BR>> * supports the stdcall stack frame convention<BR>>
* creates 32-bit DLLs for Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT<BR>> version
4.0 or greater<BR>> This type of DLL is commonly called a Win32 DLL.
<BR>> <BR>> Note: Microsoft Visual Basic does not have the capability to
produce a Win32<BR>> DLL. Therefore, MSX DLLs cannot be written in
Microsoft Visual Basic. A<BR>> good alternative for VB
programmers is PowerBASIC, an inexpensive compiled<BR>> Basic that is
syntax-compatible with VB and can produce Win32 DLLs.<BR>> MSX DLL
Capabilities<BR>> The functions that can be implemented in MSX DLLs are
similar in behavior to<BR>> the Standard built-in MetaStock functions.
In other words, MSX Functions<BR>> can be written to perform calculations
based on any available price data or<BR>> results of other functions.
All MSX DLL functions return a data array.<BR>> This exactly parallels the
behavior of the MetaStock built-in functions.<BR>> The returned data array
can be plotted by Custom Indicators or used in any<BR>> way that a standard
built-in function can be used. <BR>> MSX DLLs can perform calculations
of virtually unlimited complexity. You<BR>> have the full power of
conventional programming languages like C or Pascal<BR>> with all of their
logic, data manipulation and rich flow-control<BR>> capabilities.<BR>>
Things that you can do with an MSX DLL include:<BR>> * Implement functions
not provided with MetaStock.<BR>> * Perform complex calculations on price
data.<BR>> * Provide multiple functions in a single MSX DLL.<BR>> * Access
stored MetaStock price data using MSFL (included in the<BR>> MetaStock
Developers Kit - see the MSFL documentation for details).<BR>> * Create
functions that can be used by Custom Indicators, System<BR>> Tests,
Explorations, and Experts.<BR>> * Distribute your compiled MSX DLL to other
users.<BR>> <BR>> Things that you cannot do with an MSX DLL
include:<BR>> * GUI functions including plotting and user dialogs.<BR>> *
Access the standard MetaStock built-in functions from within your<BR>>
DLL.<BR>> <BR>> This capability is already in MetaStock Professional 7.0
and will be in the<BR>> upcoming MetaStock End-Of-Day 7.0. The MetaStock
Developer's Kit is expected<BR>> to be available in late November. For
the latest details periodically check<BR>> <A

<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG> "Re: Increasing the

<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>> Things that you cannot do with an MSX DLL
include:<BR>> * GUI functions including plotting and user

<DIV><FONT

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The above was missing in your excellent explanation
briefing (at the finishing end) on the new</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>in MSK v7 included MSDK's "MSX-API"-functionality
extension feature.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Hope this time around you can finish it, by providing us
the "missing dotted" line(s) at the above end!.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>2. Why do the MetaStock and Downloader programs on
'Run' do not have any</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG> command line
Switches/Parameters ? </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Many programs have switches/parameters added to their
command lines, that can be used</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>by </FONT><FONT size=2>user to run/open the program
with/on certain conditions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>For example adding an /E switch/parameter to the
standard MSK command line <FONT size=2>could then</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=2>enable user to open up with the MSK's
Explorer :</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>
C:\Equis\Mswin\mswin.exe /E</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>or an /S to open up with the MSK's SystemTest
:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>
C:\Equis\Mswin\mswin.exe /S</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>or for the DLR's Convert Tool for the daily file updates :</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>
C:\Equis\Dlwin\dlwin.exe /C</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I usualy work with Layouts so I won't go further in to the fact that
Charts+Layouts can be</DIV>
<DIV>opened directly from the (Run) command line :</DIV>
<DIV>
C:\Equis\Mswin\Charts\MyChart.mwc</DIV>
<DIV>or the equivelant :</DIV>
<DIV>
"C:\Equis\Mswin\mswin.exe C:\Equis\Mswin\Charts\MyChart.mwc"</DIV>
<DIV>will both open the Chart named MyChart in the Charts folder.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But advanced programs do also have advanced command-line
procedures (switches and parameters)</DIV>
<DIV>to directly open a program with a by user desired Tool (a sub
program).</DIV>
<DIV>These via parameters and switches (common in most PC programs)
advanced commands procedures</DIV>
<DIV>are up till now not been added/available. They are not available
to user :</DIV>
<DIV>neither for the stand-alone MSK program and not for the covered DLR
program.</DIV>
<DIV></FONT> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>3. Tho slightly cosmetic of nature, is this
question: are MSK/DLR also EURO (€) Compatible ? </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Refering to your previous mailings/billboard
announcements, in which you stated that</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the MetaStock/Downloader </FONT><FONT size=2>programs are
€URO ready, and with the excellent new version</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>of the AutoIt program being </FONT><FONT size=2>capable
</FONT><FONT size=2>to add(send) the ASCII-codes(characters) to
</FONT><FONT size=2>a security's Name field</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>----------</FONT><FONT size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>"like when using using the ALT key </FONT><FONT size=2>and
the numeric </FONT><FONT size=2>keypad </FONT><FONT size=2>(e.g. ALT+65 =
'A' or ALT+0128 = '€' or ALT+0165 = ' ')"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>----------</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>and </FONT><FONT size=2>have </FONT><FONT size=2>noticed
</FONT><FONT size=2>that once one </FONT><FONT size=2>of the ASCII (via
ALT+Numblock) </FONT><FONT size=2>characters is required, the
Downloader</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>will reflect and </FONT><FONT size=2>produce
</FONT><FONT size=2>the sign correctly, but that </FONT><FONT
size=2>the MSK/DLR-programs will not ever produce</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the € sign, let alone </FONT><FONT size=2>correctly.
</FONT><FONT size=2>All that can be seen is a single fat Bold vertical bar.
</FONT><FONT size=2><FONT size=2>As you can see above,</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=2>h</FONT><FONT size=2>ere </FONT><FONT
size=2>on </FONT><FONT size=2>my PC and for in </FONT><FONT
size=2>this</FONT><FONT size=2> at the moment used </FONT><FONT
size=2>Outlook Express </FONT><FONT size=2>mail-program, </FONT><FONT
size=2>the € sign does come</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=2>up very nicely. <FONT size=2>It will also
work very well and come up nicely </FONT><FONT size=2>in all
</FONT><FONT size=2>of the other € sign-compatible
programs.</FONT></DIV></FONT></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>From me here typing these charcters into this mail, you
can </FONT><FONT size=2>notice </FONT><FONT size=2>that my keyboard's
numeric</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>keypad-</FONT><FONT size=2>functionality and the
input + procedure </FONT><FONT size=2>(see "ALT+" above) are
here working perfectly, eg</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>upose </FONT><FONT size=2>to the fat 'bar' produced in
MSK's or DLR's Name fields (see inserted gif below).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>However, </FONT><FONT size=2>thus not within
</FONT><FONT size=2>the Downloader v7.0 and </FONT><FONT
size=2>not within the Metastock v6.52 programs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>To test for the EURO (€) sign Compatibility -
using the "ALT+0128" procedure:</FONT></DIV>

when I installed Windows 95 printer I was given a printer driver version of

<DIV>Heidi, I have always had problems with Metastock (my versions have
been 6.5 and 6.52). It isn't a resource problem in the strictest sense,
since my system is a Dell 400 MHz Pentium II with Windows 98, 128 MB RAM
and a 8 GB hard drive that is 75-80% free. On the other hand, it only
happens if I try to work well ahead of the printer, skipping along and
telling the system to print charts in advance. After a bit, the blanking
of chart areas begins on all subsequent charts. If I do not queue charts,
then no problem. Only Metastock messes up. For a variety of reasons,
Metastock 6.52 is my last version of this program. There are no MS
upgrades in my trading future. And Reuters has about the worst customer
support that I have ever seen in a company. It will lose me as a customer
within the next 3-6 months unless they suddenly effect a turnaround in
performance and price competitiveness. Anyway, I can only add that you are
not the only one having printing problems with Metastock. BTW, I am
running a HP DeskJet 870cse in spooling mode. Joe</DIV>

Bill,
I am deeply disturbed by the lack of adequate response I have seen from
Equis during the past 2 weeks concerning the obvious printing problems
that MS 6.52 demonstrates.
I also have had the same 6.52 printing problems and I would like to
express to the group how a professional, reputable and reliable company
tries to resolve an obvious problem.
Since I purchased the 6.52 upgrade in September, I have gone back to the
Xerox company concerning the Xerox 8C printer. Xerox quickly responded
and tried to determine whether their printer was at fault. Xerox even
replaced my 8C printer with the Xerox DucoPrint 11C. Xerox has gone the
extra mile and has responded in a very reputable manner and never during
our search for a resolution did Xerox stonewall the problem.
Living in Silicon Valley allows me to call many software companies in
the valley to explain to them what MS 6.52 software problems I am
confronting. Bill, the problem is in MS 6.52, and MS has not responded
to this glaring problem in a reputable and honest fashion. The
difference in response between Xerox and MS has been amazing. As a
business owner, I am bewildered over what the group writes about Reuters
your parent company- is their philosophy and lack of reliability in
supplying consistant data influencing Equis in their business practices?
How can a reputable and reliable company not respond or acknowledge such
an obvious and glaring problem in their software? The credibility of
Equis is at stake. Please, no more 6.52 patch fiascos.
I want to know when will Equis resolve the 6.52 printing problem?
Sincerely,
Lino Alessi
