[Metastockusers] Re: 4MACDean template support for Ver 7.0x and for 8.0x

Hi, Anthony:

I'm at a bit of a loss, here, since I don't have a copy of 7.0.

However, Roy Larsen shared in an earlier post that the MS72FORM.DTA 
that is created by the Organizer in 7.2 can be loaded into version 
7.0 using the Organizer, IF you change the name to 70 from 72.

I have no way to test this, but I trust Roy's advice.

I suggest you be VERY careful not to copy these files on top of one 
another - there seems to be one "master" DTA that is used for your 
normal operations, which should not be overwritten.  To install the 
new DTA into 7.0 from the Files area:

1) save the downloaded DTA someplace safe
2) rename it to MS70FORM.DTA
3) start MetaStock
4) Explorer Icon > Organizer > Import, then proceed thru the steps

Please let me know if this works OK.  If not, maybe Spyros will 
upload an exported DTA from the copy that he successfully built in 7.0

Good Luck!

Jim

before loading it?  I am using MS v 7.0 and I notice I have a 
MS70FORM.DTA file of the size of 2,052KB in my metastock directory.  
Are you saying I have to replace this file of mine with the renamed 
file?  Or do I have to do an import using the formula organiser?  I 
tried both. In both cases I got an "illegal operation" below:
