Whereas I agree with the main of your message as to the value of ver
6.52--mine will crash whenever I attempt to change symbols by typing in a
symbol using the small "choose security" button at the lower right corner
of the chart--I must state that my charts print beautifully. I use an
Epson Stylus model 600 on both of my machines and have not had a printing
problem. I did not change printer drivers or video drivers (Maxtrox), just
installed ver 6.52 from the Equis CD. I did install over ver 5.11, and
wish I would have installed into a seperate directory. There are several
"bugs" with my copy, but printing is not one of them.
I do wonder why Equis does not build a solid piece of software that has
function as the main priority and leave out many of the "bells and
whistles" or "fluff". I really question the value of the "experts" and
their commentary. Equis, why not build a solid program and then offer
modules for those that want the "fluff". You know, like buying a new
car....price the base model and then buy the add on's.
