Al,
According to my own Year2000 data experience :
a) there was no Year2000 problem at all with Quote Plus Virtual,
b) there was apparently no serious Year2000 problem with the Metastock
Output program run either MANUALLY (Start/Program/Quote Plus/Metastock
Output) or by Quote Plus SCANS (ProcessMS command). The only annoying was
the Equis Metastock/Downloader Open Directory dialogs showing 1900 instead
of 2000, but, as I said, the historical price data was correct = ready for
Metastock use. This 1900 "cosmetic" stuff was corrected by the first QP patch.
c) there were serious Year2000 problems with the Metastock directories
auto-update (READ "AUTO") run by Quote Plus Downloader. The DoSplit (87) or
10h exception errors at least. This was not completely repaired by the
first QP patch. Get the latest one (see Gary Lyben instructions on Quote
Plus site or Quote Plus e-mail list). The occurence of this problem has
most probably put the Metastock database in a questionable state (clean
rebuild by Metastock Output Tool might a good idea).
d) The latest patch "requires that your current qp_meta.exe program be
dated 8-18-1999 or greater" [GL]. Your 6/21/99 build is too old, please
request a new CD from Quote Plus (Janene <janene@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>).
e) All the above has never damaged your Quote Plus database. Only Metastock
data are in question by c)
