Temporary Solution From TC2000 For Y2K Conversion Problem Thank you for writing. This a temporary way of converting the data to a MetaStock format until we are able to finish the research on do the conversion automatically with version 4. Note we are only sure this works with Metastock 6.5x. 1 Export the data in v3 format using smart export. 2 Open their MetaStock end of day mode program. 3 Click on TOOLS and select THE DOWNLOADER. 4 In the Downloader window, click on TOOLS and select CONVERT. 5 This will bring up a "Convert Securities" window. 6 In the Source area, change the File Type to TC2000 7 In the Folder window type, in the name of export dir. i.e. c:\tcv3data 8 In the File name, window type in *.ndx. 9 Under Destination Area in the file type windows, put in MetaStock. 10 IN the Folder window, type in the directory of the location where you want the data in Metastock format stored. I suggest a new folder since this is only a temporary work around until we get our normal export working. 11 VERY IMPORTANT! You must click on the Options button and under the Source tab and check the box to Traverse source folders. If you don't do this it will not do a mass convert and only let you choose one symbol at a time. 12 After completing all these steps, then click OK and the conversion will begin. 13 Once the conversion is complete, you then click close on the CONVERSION REPORT window. 14 Click on FILE and then EXIT the Downloader window. This will bring you back to the MetaStock window 15 Click on FILE and then select OPEN and then goto the conversation export directory and choose a symbol to open. Note since you are converting V4 to MetaStock format there is no 255 limit to the conversation you may export and convert as many symbols as they want. Jamie Monk Tc2000.com Tech Support
