The MetaStock access module is able to retrieve quotes from almost any type of MetaStock/Computrac database.
This module calls the binary program identified by the $HOME/.gt/options file option "DB::metastock::program" ("/bourse/tools/MetaStockReader" by default) to get quotes from your metastock database.
$HOME/.gt/options file option "DB::metastock::directory" must indicate the directory of the metastock database. (no default).
Please refer to /bourse/tools/MetaStockReader source if you want to learn more about it.
NOTE: this module and the companion binary program has been depreciated in favor of the stand-alone perl module (unfortunately) also named MetaStockReader. refer to that modules pod
You can indicate the directory which contains the MetaStock database by setting the DB::metastock::directory configuration item. You can also set DB::metastock::program to indicate where the MetaStockReader binary program is located (complete pathname).
