It is quite clear that the development process at Omega is totally
out of control. SP3 makes major changes in functionality in what was
supposed to be a bug fix release.
Any experienced software manager knows that you must freeze the
functionality of code long before the release and only allow bug
fixes after a version is released. This code is "pre-beta" quality.
Under these conditions, it is not clear that we will ever see a usable version.
Perhaps they will wise up and recompile TradeStation 4.0 as a 32 bit
application, eliminating only the 13000 bar limitation with no other
changes. That could be a decent product to retain their market
position while they fool around with redesigning TS2000i.
