 Advanced GET and MetaStock File Format

Advanced GET has the ability to read MetaStock data using a "Metastock file library" called MSFLxxx.DLL. Advanced GET has an inbuilt Computrac/MetaStock format decoder but this does not read in the current MetaStock format correctly - you need the DLL instead.

Advanced GET 7.5 Builds 83 through 135 require MSFL651.dll

Advanced GET 7.5 Build 136 and above can use either MSFL651.DLL or MSFL70.DLL

If you have Windows 98 or Windows ME, it must be located in the C:\Windows\System folder.

For Windows NT or Windows 2000, it must be located in the C:\WinNT\System32 folder.

If you have Windows XP it must be located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
