I saw but deleted by accident some comments that related to a dispute
between Omega and Futursource. I got the impression that for some reason
I would not be able to use TS5 with FS. Could anyone clarify this? Did I
get the wrong end of the stick here?
Many thanks
Philip

> 3.) True 32-bit and designed for multi-processor systems (translation:
> works better with 32-bit operating systems (Win 95/98/NT), no more 64k
limit
> on Easy Language systems, unlimited number of symbols in the GlobalServer

more

> 4.) A number of new built in functions, indicators, etc.

> 5.) All new server (translation: symbol settings are not overwritten
when
> you update the symbol universe, can track 200,000 symbols in real time,
an
> "enterprise" edition available to serve multiple clients over a network,
> just about any data vendor can be used with the "data manager".
Automatic

>
> 6.) Easy Language features: Easy Language can be used on Options
Station.
> Bid/ask can be referenced in EL. System testing down to the tick level.
