Lionel,
Same problem here, but the technical issue if not for Equis support. Let me
explain.
Quote Plus isn't an agreed data vendor (as ... see Downloader list). They
even cannot buy the Write version of Equis Developer Kit. They had
therefore to kind of reverse engineer the Equis Year2000 date encoding. It
seems this trial/error approach was not completely successful. But this was
to be expected.
This is a commercial matter at first place. Metastock/Computrac 255 sec/dir
was a de facto universal database standard till 31 Dec 1999. Everybody knew
it was dead end. Equis decided to not make public their Year2000
modifications to the format => THE STANDARD IS GONE !
I don't understand the competitive advantage of playing secret games about
a data format. It's the kind of evidence Reuters/Equis or Omega research
won't even read, anyway.
Alain.
