<DT><FONT size=2>The problem with the advance decline line is that it can be

<DT><FONT size=2>For example, by plotting a 20-day CMO or 14-day RSI based

Additionaly to Equis Support's fast & honoust reply on this issue, there is a hic-up
in their MetaStock Cd's Autorun.ini feature, and in which Support-reply you
were advised to do perform a standard Win9x routine (holding down Shift key
to disable any AutoRun.exe calls), have printed further below another -for my situation-
better&in future use quicker solution.
Equis' advice was:
-Hold Down the SHIFT key while Insert-ing(on tray) the MSK-program Cdrom
into your CdRom-player(press the tiny button on the front panel)
-Hold SHIFT key Down for as long as it takes the Cd to be read for installation
file calls and when finaly being installed, eg until all the "player's installation noise"
has disappeared (eg when in Windows Explorer or My Computer you will see
your Cd-drive change Icons+Name).
-Release SHIFT key
A second and better option is to leave (undo) the Auto Insert Message option unavailable:
-go into ControlPanel|System|CDROM|"YourCdrom player"
-at the bottom left, click for your Cdrom player's Properties
-click the Settings TAB
-go to Options section
-uncheck the Auto Insert Message option
Next time any program that has the Autorun.exe feature being addressed to, will
find its attempts (made by their Autorun.ini file) die in harmony (eg it will not be started/run).
It does mean, however, that in future you will have to manualy start up any setup programs
that their Autorun.ini refer to, if you want such a Cd's program being installed.
You can view the Autorun.ini by copying file to a temp folder, renaming its extension
to TXT and double clicking file for opening by NotePad. In file you will see what Setup.exe
or Install.exe is the correct one to run a setup. (Eg Office has 3 of such setup files in the
Office Cd's main folder, but only one will get addressed in Office's AutoRun.ini).
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
There is a license verification needed 90 days after installing MetaStock
7.0. Generally installing the CD is enough. Apparently the Auto-run feature
started instead. The next time it asks you for the CD, hold down the SHIFT
key on your keyboard as you insert the CD and continue to hold it down for a
few seconds and this will disable the Auto-run feature momentarily. This
will allow the verification feature to read the CD without Auto-run
starting, when complete MetaStock will start up. This only needs to be done
once.
