Guys, Guys! I'm the one that said AB locks up. Said it twice on this forum and once to Support. Only one other guy said it was slow. And I've now learned why and have a coupla different fixes. So THANKS!
All these bruised ego's are helluava lot smarter'n me putting together some great stuff. Cut and paste can be quite tedious you know :) "Can we all just get along?" Rodney King after LA riots said this I think....(didn't cut and paste this one) Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: vlanschot To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2007 8:06 AM Subject: [amibroker] Re: Corr Matrix via Gfx functions OK, you're right. My ego overreacted and I got over it now. Let's move on.
