[GT] New MetaStockReader module

[João C. <joa...@zo...>]

Hi,

I've tested the MetaStockReader module by Yannick, available here
(http://geniustrader.org/lists/devel/msg01073.html), and it works fine for
me.

I didn't test it intensively, but will continue to use it, and will report
any problem which may eventually occur.

I must say I was pretty surprised, it was a plug and play experience. It
simply works.

I didn't look into the code itself too much, I've only one suggestion.
Instead of referring to the file like this:

my $file = $self->{directory} . "\\MASTER";

use this instead

my $file = $self->{directory} . "/MASTER";


This way makes it compatible with Unix systems as well. I know MetaStock is
a Windows application, but one could copy the MetaStock files to a Unix
system, and use them with GT.

I also have another question. What is the XMaster file ? I just started
using MetaStock recently, and I'm not very familiar with it. I didn't test
the XMaster file stuff, because I don't know what it is :) .

Anyway, good job.
