Metastock dev kit

["Sean Taylor" <cloudnine@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Anyone out there using the Read only version of the dev kit with VB 6.0?

I'm considering purchasing it if it allows me to do the following:
Write functions that access multiple or specific securities that can be
called from within Metastock EOD.

Examples:
a) I want to know whether Gold is higher today than 10 days ago and
incorporate this in a system.  Write the function in VB and call it from
Metastock.
b) I want to back test a system using Open+y% entry conditions.  Write the
system as a function in VB returning the equity line with other
characteristics available via exported variables? or functions?  Use the
function in the explorer or an expert adviser.

Does this all sound feasible?
Can VB6 generate an external dll for Metastock?
Can I use metastock functions from within VB? (I think not but ask anyway)
Can I access other metastock external functions from within VB (i.e. CPR)?
How would an external function pass multiple values back to metastock?

Thanks,
Sean

P.S. I used to be a C programmer (12 years ago) under Unix.
