I've just read the Matlab and Wolfram sites. I used Mathcad some years ago,
and must say I enjoyed it immensely and I'm sure it has moved on by leaps
and bounds. However, I was intrigued by the wording of the Matlab web site
viz: "The Financial Time Series object supports the management of dated time
series data in MATLAB.. " My question is - can one call an object (assuming
it is Microsoft compatible) fairly simply from Metastock or does one need
the SDK?
