A.J.,
If you enter 06 and your customer number, without any dashes or spaces,
then your initials, you will get the upgrade screen*. At the bottom of
the upgrade screen, you will see "MetaStock 7.0 End-of-Day upgrade" for
$59. This page is rather lame since, every time you come to this
page, it will add another upgrade package for $59 so beware. At the
top of the upgrade screen they are offering "John Murphy's Chart Pattern
Recognition" software. Unfortunately, the link for more information
about the first 3 products available for sale is a dead link. Notice
how Equis is also selling their "MetaStock Developer's Kit" for $149?
I don't know if this is only for EOD or also can be used later for realtime.
Now all we need is PowerBasic and we can totally customize our Explorations.
I don't see any information about v7's new features as compared to v6.52
EOD. Maybe Equis could tell us what ONLY the differences are between
v7 EOD and v6.52 EOD to this ListServ? Since I might upgrade, I need
to know whatever new features there are. I assume you can save Explorations
and link DLL's. However, I don't know what other enhancements exist.
Daniel.
*I think Equis is doing this to prevent people, who didn't buy v6.52
EOD, from receiving the upgrade price. I assume this is also why
they require you verify you have the MetaStock CD. Apparently, Equis
(or Reuters) is concerned about illegal copying. I can't really blame
them. There's a LOT of illegal copying taking place in the Eastern
European block nations, in Russia, and particularly in Asia. MicroSoft
recently sued a company in China but the Chinese court ruled in favor of
the company saying there was "no proof" any copying occurred. Right.
If this activity continues, expect American software companies to take
more drastic measures to protect themselves. This will include setting
up "regions" similar to the DVD video market. They may even revive
the copy protection schemes which were used during the 80's.

?????, all of this goes beyond my................
it says:
In the Priority Upgrade Number field, just type "01"
followed by your customer number if you're upgrading
to MetaStock Professional (e.g. If your customer number
is "100," you would type "01100") or "06" if you're
upgrading to MetaStock End-of-Day. Then in the next field
add your first and last initials and you will be
qualified to place the upgrade order.
Or you can call 1-800-324-0474 to get your upgrade today!*Very
accurate information? nah, nada !!!**Confusing? nah, nada !!!***Equis informing
its 6.5 EOD users? nah, nada !!!****Equis announcing the v7.0 availablity

to Equis-the manufacturer :--------ARE WE, THE USERS, IN YOUR EQUIS
