<font size=3>hello Dan..i ran across your rather old mail on automation
software as i am considering buying automate...but wanted a few
opinions...did you buy automate.....i tried the&nbsp; pro trial a year or
so ago and it seemed to work on metastock but i wanted to wait for am
udated version and now 4.0 is out.....did you go with anything else...i
will trial test something if you want....or even retrial automate if you
think it's worth it..thanks for your time.....<br>

<blockquote type=cite cite>MS v6.52 EOD could use some improvements, such
as the FIND<br>
screen.&nbsp; However, you no longer need a built-in macro feature
for<br>
MS.&nbsp; You can buy them separately at TUCOWS or even get 2 free.<br>
<br>
TUCOWS has 2 which rate 5 cows (their rating system).&nbsp; Tonight
I<br>
was looking them over.&nbsp; I'm not sure which is better.&nbsp;
Maybe<br>
someone on this list has experience in this area and can tell us:<br>
<br>
http://tucows.tierranet.com/macros95.html<br>
<br>
AutoMate v4.2c, $60, is the first.&nbsp; Make sure you download the<br>
Standard Edition.&nbsp; The Pro edition costs $180 and seems only
have<br>
additional VB programming support.&nbsp; Only the Pro has the free<br>
trial:<br>
http://www.unisyn.com/<br>
<br>
Macro Scheduler v5.4, $40, is the other.&nbsp; Again, you want the<br>
standard edition.&nbsp; Their VBScript edition only costs $75.<br>
http://www.mjtnet.com/index.mv?msched5.html<br>
<br>
I will have to look over these 2 and decide which is the best.&nbsp;
I<br>
am looking for a macro program which records my mouse moves and<br>
keystrokes.&nbsp; I would like to have a macro program which<br>
automatically updates MS Pro charts from Excel (paste specials)<br>
in realtime.&nbsp; It looks as though AutoMate is better suited for<br>
this.&nbsp; I am going to be reviewing the MS and QP scanning<br>
languages and I don't want to bother with an additional macro<br>
language.&nbsp; If anyone is familiar in this field, please LMK.<br>
<br>
If you don't mind learning and using scripts, this page has 2<br>
free script programs:<br>
http://home.wxs.nl/~anthmaas/<br>
ScriptIt and AutoIt.&nbsp; ScriptIt is a Microsoft program and
appears<br>
to be easier to use.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Daniel.<br>

&gt; For 3 years the party line has been that macros are<br>
&gt; less necessary than in the DOS version, blah, blah.<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But they are just as necessary to do simple
tasks<br>
&gt; like viewing a series of selected stocks every day.<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The main reason whe no macros is
apparently that<br>
&gt; it is difficult to write the VBA script to implement<br>
&gt; macros in the Windows version. But does it take 3<br>
&gt; years?<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Meanwhile the program has accumulated
many<br>
&gt; pointless bells and whistles, but no macros
yet.</font></blockquote><br>
