Not this much, in my case. I've removed TS from my system and am exploring
Excel macros to replace the functionality that I was lead to believe I
would get from TradeStation. I'll wait until a release comes out that
the folks on this list say works even remotely as advertised before trying
again. Meanwhile I've asked OR for at least a partial refund to compensate
for all the futile debugging I've done for them, but not all that
surprisingly, I've not heard back from them in the two weeks since I've
sent the email. -uf
