Stacy, Sean: As I recall from over a decade ago, the MS file format stores the number of records as the first entry. I believe that it is in simple CHR format. Then it has a bunch of information, like whether or not the file has open, close, last, high, low, etc. Also the name of the security. Then the data in BCD format. To convert to floating point is not too hard, especially since you know that the data will never be negative! It's kind of fun to decrypt the information without the manuals. That is how I did it. My C routine read the data in a snap. -Sword
