Yes, that's correct BUT... without save feature unregistered users
can not use assignments to markets, groups. They also can not
save trend lines and other things which will come soon.

AmiBroker/Win32 already implements script-driven ASCII and teletext
import via its OLE automation interface. So the only thing to do
is to provide scripting interface for Metastock import, so with the
help of very small script you will be able to fully automate updates
(as it is already possible for ASCII data sources).

Well, I think that format definition files (*.format) are that easy
that everyone can "master" preparing/modifying them.
I belive also, that they are flexible enough to handle most ASCII data
formats.
