All, on another note. I would encourage everyone to write equis about their poor data handling. I just bought advanced get several months ago and its metastock data handling is far superior to MS. Basically get allows you to define a list of MS dirs or specify the parent directory of mnay other metastock dirs each containing upto 255 securities and then it will traverse the entire hierarchy and create one composite master list from all the directories. You can then load charts and do scans on the list as if it were one giant directory even when its not. Its a very pleasent improvement over MS. Note it will also integrate TC2000/AIQ/ and other data all into the same list so that you could have data from three different vendors but logically it all appears as one giant database. Very impressive. Hats off to Trading Techniques Inc. Other vendors should really adopt this strategy. It basically eliminates the age old dilema of dealing with EQUIs's antiquated data format and licensing issues for the new revised aniquated data format.... BTW: Combine this with QP2's virtual Metastock data and I can download and export 18,000+ securities to scan in GET in less than 5 minutes with QP2. :) Sean
