If you have downloaded the data into the \UPDATES directory, run the GETDATAI.BAT file. If you want PinnUp to dial out and retrieve the files from the BBS, run GETDATA.BAT. If you have downloaded the updates into the \UPDATE directory you can also type pinnup /M from the \pinnacle directory. That is all the batch does really anyway. This will invoke pinnup and tell it to merge the data. Then once the data has merged, you can run the dmaker utility to create your metastock and ascii data. You can do this by typing dmaker $clclong.ms for example. All the files that begin with $ are scripts for creating the data files. If they end in .ms they create metastock, and .asc create ascii. I created a batch file called update.bat that has a bunch of dmaker $script commands one line at a time. I just run this daily to generate my data. The first line in the update.bat is pinnup /m so that any new data is added to the master .PIN files. Actually, here is what it looks like since it really isn't that big: CALL PINNUP /M TYPE PINNUP.MSG \|MORE CALL DMAKER $SP500.MS CALL DMAKER $SPCOT.MS CALL DMAKER $SP500PP.ASC Hope that helps. Optim
