New Features?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>A.J., <BR>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.
<P>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.
<P>Daniel.
<P>*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.

Status:
On the phone Equis Support told me that there would be a MS 7.0 EOD version
compatible with Quote.com's QFeed data stream.
This would work out very well for me because I already am paying for QFeed
which I use with QCharts.
Until I can purchase the MS version compatible with QFeed, I would not even
consider upgrading.
