Lynn,
Will you please post a note to the list when Metastock EOD 7.2 is
ready? I suspect several of us have waited for the new release to
stabilize before ordering especially since we now know we have to
pay for bug fixes. Admittedly the 9 dollar charge is a fungible
cost and you are not making any money off the CD. I think many of
us agree that the website is very confusing to use and the updates
are not clearly identified. In addition, the website is NOT an
effective marketing tool for Equis because of a decided lack of
detailed information about your new Metastock 7.0 product lineup.
How about some screenshots showing the new features? How about
information that helps us decide which version of Metastock 7.0
best fits our needs? How about a scaleable product line where we
can selectively add features we need? Please do not take these
questions as criticisms but do pass on to your sales and marketing
department as they are missing an opportunity. How about Equis
modifying the website to determine the update the customer needs
by a single click of the button? This may even help piracy by
implementing keycodes or other techniques to ensure legitimate ownership
and as a paying customer I like this as much as Equis does.
Thanks,
Ron Stockstill

Subject: RE: Continual charge for maintenance releases???
List,
In the past, the patches that we posted on the web site caused much more
headache to customers than it was worth. Many people were either installing
the wrong patch or multiple patches when they only needed to run one of
them, or there were people that had multiple installations of the program
and the patches sometimes failed to update the program in the location that
they expected, etc.
Installing the maintenance release from a CD will eliminate most of these
issues.Therefore it was decided that there will not be a patch posted on the
web site for versions 7.0x. The update will be via CD only.
The $9.00 charge for the 7.0x release includes the cost of the CD,
duplication and shipping anywhere in the world. The cost will be determined
at the time of the release depending on if it is only a maintanence release
or if there are any enhancements to the software. If you have any further
questions on the upgrade cost, please contact our sales department at
800-882-3030 or 801-265-8886.
Thank you,
Lynn

Interesting question.
I just got the full EOD upgrade on a CD as v 7.02, I ASSYOUME the
patch from 7.xx to 7.02 was on the WEB.... I just checked, and they
are still on the 6.52 time frame.
Equis is just too busy at this time upgrading their followers, and
making sure everyone is please.
Equis, I'm sure, being a good and socially responsive software
company, will release the patch to fix minor unforeseen issues with
customer's configuration, will be posted on the WEB site in due time.
