Sean, I must disagree with you on this. Writing QP2 scans is more difficult than QP1 was! The user interface is more cumbersome and the language syntax is more difficult than QP1 was for non-programmers. There's no disputing that QP2 scans are more powerful, but that power came at the expense of useability.

Sean, you don't seem to want to accept my situation at face value. I'm not going to argue with you...I was only looking for answers to a couple of questions. >>Why not read the manual. you said you can write Qp1 scans. If you can, then you can certainly write tc2000 scans.<< I did, I can, and I already can. It appears to me that TC2000 can't do some of the things QP1 could. I was asking for confirmation, in case I was missing something. >>Your original rant was that you couldn't get your scans running and didn't want to spend time. Numerous people including myself offered to help and ported a scan for you and welcomed more. If you motivation was truely time then you would be working by now but instead there is an alternative motive/grudge here that is making you take the hard way out. Maybe you can explain what this is since you have already contradicted your original complaint.<< My original "rant" is unchanged. I cannot, on my own, get QP2 scans to work. Thanks to your assistance, I was able to get a few of my "bread and butter" scans up, and I am in business. But some day soon I'm going to want to try another trading idea, and I guess I'll have to come to you for help again, yes? As much as I appreciate your help, I'd prefer a program that I can master unassisted. >>If you can write QP1 you can write QP2.<< Your opinion notwithstanding, my experience is different. I never needed assistance writing QP1 scans, I never needed assistance writing Metastock formulas, but, as I said, I couldn't get QP2 scans to work without help. I should note that the QP1 manual had 19 pages devoted to writing scans; the QP2 manual has 2. I'm sure that had something to do with it. Do you have an ulterior motive? Why must your way be the ONLY way? Why are you so eager to help me with my QP2 problems, and unwilling to help me in evaluating TC2000? I just don't understand. Gary
