Dynastore modifies NO code or files that belong to either DBC or Omega.
Instead of thumping us, I would think that as a strong proponent of Omega
you would be pleased that Dynastore opens up the Omega product line (past &
present) to another data feed that was not previously supported. Adapters,
converters, translators, etc. have been around to translate data from format
A to format B for as long as there have been computers.

I have had a look on this web site.
There is a legal issue that you may do not know for this kind of adapter,
regardless to the complexity of the process added.
Datafeed converters have been around in the past, and all of them were using
DBC Omega server as a trojan horse.
This involves a modification of the DBC server EXE file, and probably some
reverse engineering on a file that belongs to Omega
The considered server was developed ( compiled at least) by Omega, so it is
their property.
Modification of this file is a legal issue between the datafeed converter
developer and Omega Research, no more,and it is not my problem in any case.
Things are different with Prosuite 2000 DBC server.
The Omega Global server for DBC acts as a server gateway overlaid on the
DBC original server developed by DBC, and that is te property of DBC.
So, the above converter in this case need to modify the DBC server, and I
suppose , without the authorization of DBC.
If it's not the case, please foget the thread, but until now, I was not
seeing DBC as a freeware provider.
The question is: How is solved the legal issue with this kind of adapter ?
Any software license do not allow to use the product by modifying te cose or
a part of it without the written permission of the developer.
So, has the Dynastore developer the authorization of DBC and Omega to use
their files in a way that was obviously not the initial intention of the
software developers ( read DBC and Oega Research).
An other question:
What are the legal issue is for a given reason, the wild and unofficial
adapter provides misfunctions of the Omega Sofware, trade errors and so on ?
The last issue is more a concern for us, european users:
Prosuite interfaces with a lot of datafeed that offers only the north
american markets (DBC, PC Quote) and /or are unavailable here (DTN, BMI).
The choice is very narrow, and the only valid solution here is SP ComStock
in terms of market coverage.
They have an excellent broadcast datafeed ( Xpress Feed 64kb, upgradable to
128 or 256k) , and also a very good internet datafeed ( ComStock on the Net
or COTN) quite inexpensive with the same service.
Stocks, options futures bonds forex for most important mondial markets are
available.
For the moment, the Xpress feed interface fro TS2000 is not ready, and COTN
interface even not considered.
And more , they broadcast all the ticks, what is not always the case for
competitors, and without delay.
And do not tell me that Omega is unable to develop a server for ComStock !
The availability of this feed to Prosuite users is the best solution
available, regardless their location.
Instead of looking at amateur solution like the above, you shoud explain to
Omega that you are interested in this solution
So, I wait this solution, but you should think to it too.
Sincerely,
Pierre Orphelin
