The real problem here is Metastock's programming staff (starting with
the Manager.)
I've complained several times about not being able to enter fractions
in a trendline's start or end value. Now, since this is a stock
charting program, and stock prices in the US have been in fractions
for well over a hundred years, this seemed like a reasonable request.
The last response I got from MS was that I should memorize the decimal
value of the fractions to 1/64, or put a postit note of them on my
monitor. I am not exaggerating. That's really what I was told!
I'm a programmer. I know *exactly* how much code it would take to
allow fractions to be entered. About six lines of code in almost any
language. But instead of getting off their fat butts and making their
product better, they'd rather tell me to use a f*ckin' postit note.
I don't know if it's stupidity or laziness, but this company is
heading for a brick wall at ramming speed.
P.S. Have you ever asked yourself why the PgDn key doesn't take you
to the next chart in MS? I suggested that years ago too.
