MS v6.52 EOD could use some improvements, such as the FIND
screen. However, you no longer need a built-in macro feature for
MS. You can buy them separately at TUCOWS or even get 2 free.
TUCOWS has 2 which rate 5 cows (their rating system). Tonight I
was looking them over. I'm not sure which is better. Maybe
someone on this list has experience in this area and can tell us:
http://tucows.tierranet.com/macros95.html
AutoMate v4.2c, $60, is the first. Make sure you download the
Standard Edition. The Pro edition costs $180 and seems only have
additional VB programming support. Only the Pro has the free
trial:

Macro Scheduler v5.4, $40, is the other. Again, you want the
standard edition. Their VBScript edition only costs $75.

I will have to look over these 2 and decide which is the best. I
am looking for a macro program which records my mouse moves and
keystrokes. I would like to have a macro program which
automatically updates MS Pro charts from Excel (paste specials)
in realtime. It looks as though AutoMate is better suited for
this. I am going to be reviewing the MS and QP scanning
languages and I don't want to bother with an additional macro
language. If anyone is familiar in this field, please LMK.
If you don't mind learning and using scripts, this page has 2
free script programs:

ScriptIt and AutoIt. ScriptIt is a Microsoft program and appears
to be easier to use.
Hope this helps. Don't ask me any questions, I haven't tried any of them.
