They've all moved on to AmiBroker - only traders left here.  ;)

Glorified 16 bit.

It benefits from half of any dual core processing.

It will take all the memory you throw at it, and then more.
And it won't give it back.

Depends - badly written code will not work properly on the best 
software.
I can only speak for my own plugins - they all work perfectly in 
MetaStock v8.01 or higher:

Sometimes.  Make sure you always have the latest video drivers 
installed in your PC.


> Re: How was Metastock written?

Legend has it that MetaStock was written on a small beer coaster 
during an evening's session at some local drinking hole back in the 
70's.  Apparently version 0.01 only had one small bug (MeatStock, 
later renamed to MetaStock), but this was corrected and it now has 
many more to choose from.  ;)
