Frank,

Not really any major problems. The only annoying problem that I've run across is when QP2 is exporting the ASCII files for WOW, if it runs into a symbol on the list that is no longer valid, the program will stop making files and put up a message window informing me that the file can't be written. It will not continue exporting until I hit the OK button. I would prefer that it would just skip the file automatically and continue the exporting process. I've found that the easiest way to avoid this most of the time is to have QP2 make a new symbol list every week. That gets rid of the bad symbols.

The speed at which it makes the files will depend upon speed of your computer's processor. I'm currently using a 600 Pentium III. The entire process from data download to completion of 10000+ files takes about 10 minutes. Then it takes another 10 minutes, or so, for WOW to import them, as long as I'm not running any other programs. When I was using a 350 Pentium II, the whole process would take over an hour.

I'm still not quite sure what kind of info you're looking for. If you can be a little more specific with your questions, maybe I can be more helpful.

Jay
