JO,

You gave me a good idea, thanks. I'm using APS Automatic Pattern 
Search from Tradingpatterns.com to find price patterns and then 
generate code for Metastock. The problem I've been having so far is 
getting the code into Metastock for the patterns one at the time. I 
think I can use the C++ to write a program to take the text file 
generated by APS and merge the patterns into a sinle formula in MS 
language. Fantastic! I used Visual C++ some time ago and it's great. 

I think if that works out with Metastock you can get something much 
more powerful than easylanguage.
