Lionel, Stockwiz does export to Metastock/Computrac 
(ie 255 s/d max) as TC 2000 and QP do. The documentation of this Dos-era 
format is widely available.
Steve Kalhas was speaking about the library license 
for Metastock 6.x> (ie 2000 s/d) support.

  Something is incorrect here.  QP, 
  TC2000 and others export data to Metastock without any problems and they 
  don't pay Equis for the privilege. Why can't StockWiz do it as well? If 
  necessary they could do it by exporting their data into a spreadsheet and then 
  importing it into Metastock via the Downloader.
   
  I just got this from the Stockwiz 
  site
  Easy export to text (ASCII) and Metastock/CompuTrac formats 
   
  Back in the early 1950's there was a Federal 
  law passed that required all manufacturers and merchants to sell at the 
  same price to all purchasers of the same class ie same price to retailers, to 
  wholesalers, to individuals. All so called fair trade laws were invalided 
  by this law. Discount stores proliferated after this law was 
  passed.
   
  StockWiz should get some competent legal advice 
  on this. Competent lawyers can be as scarce as competent accountants, 
  engineers, programmers etc. For a reasonable fee I'll tell them how 
  to go about finding a suitable lawyer.:) Disclaimer:  I 
  am not a lawyer nor am I giving or selling legal advice.

    A 5 january 1999 comment from Steve 
    Kalhas, i-Soft (Stockwiz)
     
    " A lot of the StockWiz users want to export 
    data to the Metastock format but Equis refuses to license their 
    library to us because they said, we are competing with them on the 
    data-sales front. Given that our data prices are $9.95 per month 
    and theirs are $30-$70, etc., I think they got a point. "
