[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: To Kevin Barry and esignal data users

I run Metastock and eSignal combination and I suggest you use 
something like 'QCollector for eSignal' or something similar to 
collect and organize/store data for metastock realtime and EOD.  It 
is very cheap program and very easy to use. You will find it on 
Internet.
