Let me begin by saying that while I've done a lot of EL programming, I have
never used one of the TS add-on DLL's to extend the environment. The kind of
work you want to do will blow the TS 64k limit without batting an eye and
the TS execution speed isn't all that wonderful anyway. You need to put what
you want into an executable. For an executable to interface with TS, it must
be a 16 bit DLL. If you want to use 32 bit, you can try to thunk into TS (a
nasty job) or you can use a 32-bit charting product which can talk to 32-bit
executables. 32 bit executables can be written pretty easily in the VB4 32
bit option, VB5, or VB6 as well as C and Delphi. The only product with which
I am familiar which can talk to 32 bit executables is the 32 bit version of
Ensign Windows, however I have not gotten around to trying it. Don't know if
either WOW or Metastock Pro can do it or not. TradeLab, which is not yet
available, is designed to use VB for systems development.
