Configuring Advanced GET to open MetaStock files

    1. Open Windows® File Explorer by right-clicking on the Start button then selecting File Explorer from the menu.
    2. Navigate to your c:\Software\Infosoft\Bodhi5\Main directory and locate the msfl651.dll file.

      Advanced GET - msfl651.dll file copy
      Select the Home tab from the menu and click the Copy button to copy the file to the Clipboard.

    3. Navigate to your c:\Windows\System32 or c:\Windows\System directory.

      Advanced GET - msfl651.dll file paste
      Select the Home tab from the menu and click the Paste button to paste the msfl651.dll file into this directory.

  2. Start Advanced GET and choose MetaStock File Library (NOT Computrac/MetaStock as this uses the 255 folder limit format).

    Please Note: %Source% is a wildcard and is automatically replaced with the three letter Exchange code of any Exchanges you are downloading. For example: if you download information from the Australian and New York Stock Exchanges you will have a c:\Data\MetaStock\ASX0 and a c:\Data\MetaStock\NYS0 directory structure. To find a list of Exchange codes, visit the Bodhi5 Exchanges Page.
