Gary, I've never used the DL for that purpose. I'm very comfortable with TC2000 and datacon. Takes me less than 40 seconds each night. Claud

Gary, as stated before. TC2000 data con will work fine with MS Win 6.0 and MS Win 6.5 as long as you have less than 256 stocks in a directory. Many people use this approach here use TC2000 and datacon to output data to metastock. This limitation is not unique to TC2000. EQUIS changed there file format with version 6.0 and have wanted too much money to license there new data conversion libraries and most software vendors have not upped the money to add this capability. I'm sure there is one but I haven't seen it yet. If you want to use this combo you will have to sub divide your data. If this is a real issue for you get WOW Pro instead of MS Win and then you can read TC2000 native format and don't have to deal with the whole mess of conversion. It annoyed me too. I think I stated previously I spent my first month doing nothing but untangling this mess. Sean
