Hi Patrick
After paying good money for Metastock 6.52 several
years ago, and various upgrades through 7.xx, (8.ox a legitimate freebie) and
9.x since, I still have to suffer the PREV function. There are a number of words
that spring to mind, but greedy isn't one of them :-)
I'm not expecting you to come up with an immediate
solution, or a free one as far as that goes, but I did want to know if the
ForumDll solved the main problem I have with conventional MFL
latches. I need to know that it's better, not just different, before I
commit time and effort into taking advantage of the "better"
attributes.
Regards
Roy

Delay - Help Needed
... Damn you guys are greedy :D
Well I will think about it
and the next version of the dll might a
solution for that ...
