<P>This patch will upgrade anyone with <B>MetaStock for Windows End-of-Day
version 6.5</B>. This will work on any 6.5 install or from any previous 6.5
patch. This patch contains the Euro and Y2K adjustments and will update your
version of The DownLoader to 6.52 also. <BR><EM>(dated 2/8/99, 4.8
Mb)</EM></P>
<P>We recommend everyone owning MetaStock for Windows 6.5 use this patch. To
find out if you own this version choose About from the MetaStock Help
menu.</P>
<P>Download the file and double-click on it. The patch will install
automatically. Once it is installed you will receive a message telling you the
programs were successfully patched. After the patch has installed, reboot your
computer to run MetaStock for Windows.</P>
<P>This Patch will patch open files. If you inadvertently apply this patch
while MetaStock is running the patch will continue and tell you that you must
reboot for the changes to take affect. When you reboot the files that were
open will be updated. Note: If you do not reboot and try to run MetaStock for
Windows, it will not run correctly.</P></LI></UL>

<P>
<P>Most patches are full program files in a compressed format. When you
double-click on the patch, the files uncompress and replace the existing
program files. Other patches are mini-applications that fix a small
problem in an existing file. Most Equis patches are of the first variety.
All patches need the full version of the program be installed on the hard
drive before they can run.
<P><BIG><B>Errors</B></BIG>
<P>All Equis patches will congratulate you upon completion. If you run a
patch and do not get a message that says your program has been updated,
something went wrong.
<P>Some errors when running a patch are due to an incomplete download of
the patch file. To verify you downloaded the complete patch, compare the
size indicated on the web site with the file that is now on your hard
drive. If the description of the patch on the web site says the patch is
2.1 mb and the size of the file in Windows Explorer is 2,122 KB, you
downloaded the full patch. If Windows Explorer says the size is 1,423 KB,
there was an error downloading the patch and you need to try downloading
it again.
<P>Another common error when running a patch is missing files or
information. A patch looks for the files it is supposed to replace, and
also looks for information in the Windows registry. If a file or registry
entry is missing, the patch will quit without completing its installation.
<P>With both of these errors, part of the patch will run, but you will not
get a congratulations message at the end. When this happens, first check
the file size as described above. If the file size is correct, you will
need to reinstall the original product, and then run the patch again.
<P><B><BIG>Installing the patch</BIG></B>
<P>All of the patches posted on our web site this year will install from
anywhere on your hard drive. Earlier patches did need to be placed in the
appropriate folder before being run. Check the patch description to see
which type of patch you are downloading. If it is a new patch, the easiest
thing to do is save it to your desktop and run it from there.
<OL>
<LI>When the Save As dialog appears, click the Up One Level button (the
yellow folder with an upwards pointing arrow) until the Save in: box at
the top says <B>Desktop</B>.
<LI>Verify that the filename is the name of the patch.
<LI>Click Save, then wait for a message indicating that the download is
complete.
<LI>You should then see the patch on your desktop. Double-click on it,
and the patch will do the rest. </LI></OL>
<P>If it is an old patch that needs to be run from a specific location,
follow these steps:
<OL>
<LI>When the Save As dialog appears, click the Up One Level button (the
yellow folder with an upwards pointing arrow) until the Save in: box at
the top says <B>My Computer</B>.
<LI>Navigate to the appropriate folder. (If the patch needs to be run
from C:\Equis\Dlwin, double-click the C: drive, then double-click Equis,
then double-click Dlwin.)
<LI>Verify that the filename is the name of the patch.
<LI>Click Save, then wait for a message indicating that the download is
complete.
<LI>Now double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop and navigate
to that folder. (repeat step 2 - double-click C:, then Equis, then
Dlwin)
<LI>Double-click on the patch file to run it. </LI></OL><!---END EXPLANATION---><!---END MAIN PAGE---></FONT> <!---BOTTOM LINKS--->

Once deleted always deleted (except when "Intelli-Sence" is used, eg UNDO / REDO)
The program misses this feature.
Workaround:
When you have the Composite open, just click Open to open both secs again (manualy tho).
