Re[2]: Data feeding two programs?

["Sentinel" <rjbiii@xxxxxxxxx>]

All programs do this in fact if you connect another program to the comport some
programs will require that you reboot before another program can use the port.

2000i uses TCP/IP protocol when used with an Internet feed and allows another
program to use the same data. I suppose that they could be on different machines
if they were networked using TCP/IP.

Peter,

When TS connects to a comport it hogs it (locks out other
connections). Therefore, you would need to split the feed to
2 comports. You could try it, but you would probably get
spotty data, and may even get a GPF or system lockup. I
don't know if metstock pro can share the datafeed graciously
with other software programs.

I know that BMI can be split between two computers easily
with a split cable, but does anyone know the following:(Mark
Brown are you there?)

Question: Can TS4 and Metastock Pro on the same computer get
BMI data from
the same serial port. Or do I need a serial cable splitter
to have the data hit 2 serial ports?
