  Question<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>You guys @ Equis are under-estimating the quality of your 
  own products and that of your programmers</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>and their programming&nbsp;skills + levels.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>You guys are also under-estimating the quality of the 
  different OS versions that </FONT><FONT size=2>are being used, eg</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>stand-alone or </FONT><FONT size=2>in combination with your 
  Equis products.</DIV></FONT>
  <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>From only servicing + supporting some 10,000+ PC's, can 
  easely come to this "OS stand-alone or in</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>combination with..."-conclusion, eg </FONT><FONT size=2>from 
  also having installed your various Equis products on the</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>various OS's in our </FONT><FONT size=2>company's internal 
  program demonstrations ( to only show off to collegue's your</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>program as </FONT><FONT size=2>a demo of what it is all 
  capable of )&nbsp;and&nbsp;from my own testing purposes.</DIV></FONT>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>The best way to test this latter, is to&nbsp;install your 
  products on clean OS's, eg prior to any other 3td party</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>software </FONT><FONT size=2>installs, and after that 
  particular OS is fully set-up, configured right and set right.</FONT><FONT 
  size=2></DIV></FONT>
  <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>Then, following the above,&nbsp;a few more easely further 
  drawn conclusions can be made:</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT 
  size=2>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>- Users can blame themselves for buying and installing 
  unproper PC's and other 3td party&nbsp;accessories,&nbsp;software</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;+&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=2>hardware 
  products.</DIV></FONT>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>- </FONT><FONT size=2>Users can also blame themselves for 
  not providing their PC's the environments </FONT><FONT size=2>in which the 
  quality products</DIV></FONT>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp; can&nbsp;live&nbsp;an uninterupted production life, 
  eg in the lack of having proper installations, configurations, 
  settings,</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=2>software + 
  hardware.</DIV></FONT>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>- Users can&nbsp;further blame themselves 
  for&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=2>their lack and/or continiously lack in not 
  providing&nbsp;their PC's&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=2>the</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp; always&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=2>required software 
  +&nbsp;hardware maintanance,&nbsp;badly required for having decent 
  productivity environments.</DIV></FONT>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>- Users can also further blame themselves for being 
  computing illiturates, eg blindly installing whatever&nbsp;</FONT><FONT 
  size=2>3d party</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp; softwares + hardwares they can get their hands on, 
  and/or for making unqualified configurations+setting changes.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>- Equis&nbsp;and other software and hardware Co.'s can blame 
  theirselves for not providing full Knowledge Base (Archive in)</DIV></FONT>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp; Support,&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=2>eg free scrollable 
  tech articles, solutions, patches and other downloads commonly 
  available&nbsp;on the Internet,</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;as can be&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=2>seen + is 
  done by many&nbsp;other &lt;very succesfull&gt; Co.'s (eg 
  MS,HP,IBM,FIC,Intel,Award, just to name a few).</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>- Equis and other software and hardware Co.'s can also blame 
  theirselves for not providing their users with&nbsp;free</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;accessable educational&nbsp;</FONT><FONT 
  size=2>articles&nbsp;on PC+their program combined use,&nbsp;eg </FONT><FONT 
  size=2>still lacking in&nbsp;the above Knowledge Base.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>From and for&nbsp;the above, there are no excuses to be made 
  or accepted.</DIV></FONT>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>Like known from&nbsp;the&nbsp;0=OFF and&nbsp;1=ON switch 
  positions,&nbsp;you either do provide or don't provide..., eg </FONT><FONT 
  size=2>point out to users</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>what should and&nbsp;can&nbsp;be done and what should and 
  cannot.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;</DIV></FONT>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>Besides then easely providing the solving answers of any 
  issues raised,&nbsp;this "public relation"-work will also be of</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>a shocking possitively-thus-</FONT><FONT size=2>succesfull 
  benificiary impuls to&nbsp;a Co.'s&nbsp;sales-figures.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>Like the Bartjens' Law states:&nbsp; 1 + 1 = 2</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>(no other option : "nothing else :&nbsp;nothing&nbsp;more or

  <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>

    have found that in some cases, virtually any Windows-based program will 
    exhibit problems with specific versions of Windows.&nbsp; Although they may 
    look similar (almost identical) on the screen, there are numerous cases 
    where the low-level programming issues between Windows versions are vastly 
    different.&nbsp; There are also cases where problems or quirks in the 
    Windows system itself will only show up in specific versions of 
    MetaStock.&nbsp; When you couple this with the numerous problems caused by 
    quirks in various video or printer drivers, it is no surprise that only 
    specific combinations of MetaStock and Windows can show

      <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
      <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Don't know if other people in this list can 
      confirm but :</FONT></DIV>
      <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have moved from MS Pro 7.0 on NT4 to MS Pro 
      7.02 on W98SE to use dual monitoring and I have more problems now although 
      I have installed it as new on a new clear system.</FONT></DIV>
      <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My 7.0 was working quite well (out of some 
      problems I did report in this list).</FONT></DIV>
      <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will not report all the problems I have now 
      with 7.02 , some are not important and I can deal with.</FONT></DIV>
      <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Others are painfull and I even had to 
      re-install the whole thing.</FONT></DIV>
      <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Out of this, my opinion is using 
      MS&nbsp;</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>with W98 is the main problem ( I do 
      hope 7.02 is not worse than 7.0 ).</FONT></DIV>
      <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
      <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(I will move to W2000 in the near future but 
      I must deal with W98 for a while)</FONT></DIV>
      <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
      <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can you confirm whether operating system
