Uh, ok. Go slow, because I'm old, but I have no idea to what you are referring here. Sorry.
Redhat, Caldera or SUNW geek?
It varies. At the moment, I'm Linux-free, only because I don't have enough time to fool with it. By the time I get home from work and spend my required face-time with spouse, do all the domestic things that need to get done, I'm left with virtually 0. When I'm lucky, I'll have enough time to watch a show, have a beer, and hit the sack.
But I digress. I used Linux in the version 0.12 days, and then later when the only distributions were SLS and MCC. I've tried Slackware and Redhat (twice). Both are adequate for my simple uses.
My profession has drug me through SunOs 4.x and 5.x (Solaris 1.x and 2.x to those who care), and most recently HP-UX, which I'm not too keen on. I'm a programmer and not a sysadm, so most of the vendor-specific differences don't concern me; the Unix API's don't vary a hell of a lot. Since I'm an applications developer anyway, I generally know about BSDisms vs SYSV'isms, but they don't concern me much. When I'm trying to design a good business object model, whose signal semantics are implemented how are light years away.
But anyway... more QP2 questions.
What's the magic word to get the processMS statement to Do What I Mean And Not What I Tell It?
I have written a scan to pick out stock candidates for me. The scan language is not quite as robust as I need it, so my theory is to use QP2 as a pre-scan, output (via processMS) to metastock, and tell metastock to further limit my choices since it has a plethora of indicators and such that QP2 does not.
It seems that QP2 will only output to directories that have been previously set up in the virtual setup program (though, I can't find any mention of this in any documentation. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough).
If this is the case, how do I create a virtual-ized direcotry with nothing in it? Or do I have to run a scan (any scan will do) to get a list, then create a directory with at least one stock in it, (reboot), then run my desired scan?
Or have I gone insane again? |
