<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Hi Mickey,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>I recently discovered that you cannot use Visual Basic
6 to develop Win32 DLL's to interface with the MS development Kit. I received
the following from Equis on this subject:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>________________________</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Visual Basic *cannot* create a Win32 DLL. It can
create a COM DLL in the<BR>form of an ActiveX object. Win32 DLLs export
functions by name or ordinal.<BR>The functions that are exported can be defined
to use the StandardCall<BR>convention (the ordering of the arguments on the
stack. The DLLs can be<BR>loaded via the system "LoadLibrary" call, and
the individual functions<BR>resolved via the "GetProcAddress"
call.<BR><BR>Visual Basic can USE Win32 DLLs (such as Kernel32.dll), but it is
not<BR>capable of CREATING a Win32 DLL. This limitation in VB has been
capitalized<BR>upon by the makers of PowerBASIC, which is syntactically similar
to Visual<BR>Basic, but has the ability to create a Win32 DLL.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>_________________________<BR><BR>I have ordered
PowerBASIC and plan to develop a series of addon toolls for MetaStock
7.</FONT></DIV>

Metastock Developer kit and know programming in VB.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=134053900-28042000>Because I stumbled across an add-on for Ms
of DEBRY.COM it's called the Multiple Security System Tester MSST, which is
great to test multiple securities in the explorer. Although it is
limited because it enters at the close and exits at the close and no drawdown
is given. And that is why I would like to ask if someone is
working on a similar add-on but then more flexible (enter and exits through
stop orders) Derby made this in C and said it is possible although
it is more complicated. A tool like that would make MS much more
powerful. Although I'm not familiar with Visual basic.</SPAN></P>
