QP2 Directory limitation -- Janene



PureBytes Links

With the talk of file number limitations of 255, I would like to ask you, Janene,
more about this as this is the major reason I have not switched from Dial Data.  In a
conversation I had with someone at QP a number of months ago, I was told that it is a
problem at the Metastock end;  that it has something to do with Equis not supporting
your ability to download into directories with more than 255.  Please flesh out this
problem.  Is it that Equis allows DD, Reuters (obviously), etc. and will not
cooperate with QP?  What is the status to have this changed?  Is there any
conversation between the two of you?  Why is Equis not cooperating?  Cannot you
program around this from your end?  Why does Equis have to have a say?

I would appreciate insight and not just a superficial answer, as I, and I bet others
would like to have some background.

There is absolutely no possibility of me switching to Reuters, or you as I do not
like multiple directories to work from.

Do you have any suggestions around this?

I appreciate that you are monitoring this list.
