RE: QP2 Directory limitation -- Janene

I believe it is Metastock who is limiting this and keeping it for their own
(I think), because of all charting software that I know of who support MS
format have a 255 limit.  Either their asking way too much money for it or
don't give it out at all.  Don't forget that Equis has their own data
provider now (data on demand) which they are pushing REALLY HARD sinds last
two upgrades.  If you look at changes of last upgrades these were the major
changes !!!
