[Programming Help] - Why are the downloadable DTC files different from what is in the installation directory?

Hi,

I'm building a python tool to interact with SC using the DTC protocol.
However, I just noticed that SC is linking to a different set of DTC
files than what come with the SC client in the ../DTC/ directory.


# From SC DTC directory

119K Dec 22 12:10 DTCProtocol.h
45K Dec 22 12:10 DTCProtocol.proto
56K Dec 22 12:10 DTCProtocol_NonStandard.cpp
56K Dec 22 12:10 DTCProtocol_NonStandard.h
99K Dec 22 12:10 DTCProtocolVLS.cpp
91K Dec 22 12:10 DTCProtocolVLS.h

# Downloaded DTC files from [1]

267K Dec 24 03:48 DTCProtocol.cpp
109K Dec 24 03:48 DTCProtocol.h
41K Dec 24 03:48 DTCProtocol.proto
92K Dec 24 03:48 DTCProtocolVLS.cpp
84K Dec 24 03:48 DTCProtocolVLS.h

1. Why are these different?
2. Which ones should/can I rely upon?
3. What are their respective functions?
4. Is this the correct forum to post questions like this, or should I use [1]?

Thanks in advance.
& Merry X-mas.

That is interesting. I am reading it on the Sierra Chart board.

It appears this message thread appears in both forums. Perhaps when you put [Programming Help] and DTC in the subject line, it got routed to both? The lists of messages are definitely not identical.
