What is it that you want to do in the system tester that you can't do
now?

I think Equis, for it's next MetaStock version, should have built-in VBA
support. Also, MS should have a MS language converter for conversion to
VBA.
This way, experienced users can gradually move to VBA. New users can
start
using VBA right away instead of learning MS. VBA is becoming the
standard
language for users. Even Corel is getting the message by including VBA
support
in their Office 2000. While this may seem difficult, MicroSoft Word has
macro
AND VBA support.
Right now, we must buy an extra SDK, Power Basic or equivalent, figure
out how
to create DLL's and learn how to link them to MS.
About Traderware: Something many on this List may not know. Traderware
will
not work in Win9x. You must use Win NT. If you try to use Win9x, it
will
crash after about an hour. Their salesman told me Win9x won't "return
system
resources" correctly. I have never heard of this type of problem in
Win9x
before so it doesn't make much sense to me. I doubt RadarScreen has
this
problem.
