USER’S GUIDE

Getting Started with FDC

FDC (Financial Data Calculator) is a uniquely powerful software package for manipulating, analyzing, and graphing data related to stocks, commodities, or indeed from any source of daily, weekly, or monthly data. It is designed with a calculator-style interface that is easy and natural to use; but like all complex software having many and varied capabilities, it will require an initial period of familiarization.

It is not necessary to know all about FDC in order to use it for simple procedures. Like all well-designed products, it permits you to use each capability as you learn it. Thus you can do many useful things almost at once, while you absorb the more intricate features at your own pace. As your knowledge and experience grows, you will continue to marvel at the usefulness of FDC, whose functionality grows with you. FDC provides the environment in which practically anything you can conceive of doing to data can be accomplished.

The FDC User's Guide is designed to be read like a book. We have tried to keep it light in order to encourage you to read the manual and get to know and use FDC. On the other hand, we recognize that after you become familiar with FDC you may occasionally need to make quick reference to a particular function just, for example, to check its syntax. In that case, the last thing that you want is to have to read a paragraph of instruction or perhaps several paragraphs. For this reason, we have provided quick syntax references in the Help by Topics section.

There are also Demos that will take you through many of the features of FDC. Should you have questions or problems, you are encouraged to e-mail us at:
