You can get the download at www.xlpnf.com. I did not create a help file
because I was not sure if there would be enough interest. I created the
application for my own use and will be updating it frequently (I hope).
Although the spreadsheet and application DLL are only 200k, the download is
about 2.5 meg because of VB overhead.

The install will create a new startup folder with xlpnf.xls spreadsheet in
it. This spreadsheet will call the DLL file to begin the program. It
should be pretty self explanatory but if there are any questions please
email me directly so not to congest this list (sorry for the cross posting
by the way).

To draw trendlines on the chart, just right click to get a pop-up menu. A
couple of other shortcuts I should mention:

CTRL-SHIFT-S will toggle the data sheets visible/hidden
CTRL-SHIFT-T will toggle the minor grid line visible/hidden
CTRL-SHIFT-C will toggle the comments visible/hidden

You can get data using (currently) three data sources - Quotes Plus,
AmiBroker and Yahoo. Quotes Plus is by far the fastest interface. Yahoo is
dependent on your internet connection. AmiBroker is kind of slow (there has
been mention of a better interface). But a faster call can be made directly
from AFL:
//Create object from VB Project DLL

xlpnf=CreateStaticObject("xlpnf.amibroker");

q=xlpnf.ami2pnf(Name(),Day(),Month(),Year(),High,Low,Close,V,16);

Everything up to Volume ('V') will remain the same. 16 is months of data to
load. There are two optional parameters after months of data - Boxsize
(default to traditional boxsize) and Reversal (default=3).
