I'd be interested.  But I'll need to have a description of the program and
what it does.

Explorations,

> The MSX API supports any programming language that meets the following
> criteria:
> *    exports DLL functions by name
> *    supports the stdcall stack frame convention
> *    creates 32-bit DLLs for Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT
> version 4.0 or greater
> This type of DLL is commonly called a Win32 DLL.
>
> Note: Microsoft Visual Basic does not have the capability to produce a
Win32
> DLL.  Therefore, MSX DLLs cannot be written in Microsoft Visual Basic.
A
> good alternative for VB programmers is PowerBASIC, an inexpensive
compiled
> Basic that is syntax-compatible with VB and can produce Win32 DLLs.
> MSX DLL Capabilities
> The functions that can be implemented in MSX DLLs are similar in behavior
to
> the Standard built-in MetaStock functions.  In other words, MSX Functions
> can be written to perform calculations based on any available price data
or
> results of other functions.  All MSX DLL functions return a data array.
> This exactly parallels the behavior of the MetaStock built-in functions.
> The returned data array can be plotted by Custom Indicators or used in
any
> way that a standard built-in function can be used.
> MSX DLLs can perform calculations of virtually unlimited complexity.  You
> have the full power of conventional programming languages like C or
Pascal
> with all of their logic, data manipulation and rich flow-control
> capabilities.
> Things that you can do with an MSX DLL include:
> *    Implement functions not provided with MetaStock.
> *    Perform complex calculations on price data.
> *    Provide multiple functions in a single MSX DLL.
> *    Access stored MetaStock price data using MSFL (included in the
> MetaStock Developers Kit - see the MSFL documentation for details).
> *    Create functions that can be used by Custom Indicators, System
> Tests, Explorations, and Experts.
> *    Distribute your compiled MSX DLL to other users.
>
> Things that you cannot do with an MSX DLL include:
> *    GUI functions including plotting and user dialogs.
> *    Access the standard MetaStock built-in functions from within your
> DLL.
>
> This capability is already in MetaStock Professional 7.0 and will be in
the
> upcoming MetaStock End-Of-Day 7.0. The MetaStock Developer's Kit is
expected
> to be available in late November.  For the latest details periodically
