Right, I understand that DataCon doesn't work with more than 255 symbols. Experimenting is faster than reading a couple of hundred posts, so here's what I tried today: 1. Created new Stocks1 & Stocks2 Directories. 2. TC2000 download. 3. DataCon transfer first 255 stocks into Stocks1 directory. 4. Change DataCon setup to point to Stocks2. 5. Run Datacon starting from the symbol it stopped on in step 3. 6. Run Equis Downloader. 7. Copy all symbols from Stocks2 into Stocks1. 8. Run MetaStock, pull up charts from Stocks1 directory. This works, but I was hoping that someone had a better approach. CL
