Wow (pun intended) Steve. This is what I was looking for. Thank you a bunch. And is that cheap or what. Do you have any trouble getting your WOW program to read the history files. For instance, if I wanted all soybean contracts dating back to mid '96 do you just download their files into an ASCII file on your machine and then have WOW import it? If so it sounds a little cumbersome but well worth the effort. I have the old WOW Deluxe dated 1992-1996. I couldn't even find a version number that vendors would ask me for when I was shopping! But I have twice tried to upgrade to a newer version of WOW and nothing compares to this ones ability to write your own systems other than Tradestation which is pricey. I think I paid $50 for my copy of WOW and then I felt bad cuz I saw it in another store a week later for $30. Go figure. Anyhow, thanks again Steve. I will look into getting signed up with them now. Easy :)

Steve, I signed up with MRI and gave them your name as a source which entitles you to a $10 credit with them. I haven't had time to sort through this yet but it looks good. I have a few questions that you may be able to help with though. First, they have 10 different formats they offer. Which do you use or does it depend on how your WOW files are set up? Second, I re-read your first post a few times but I couldn't figure out where I should be when I right click and what I should select when the drop-down box shows up. I may have just been in the wrong place when I clicked but none of the choices were "download" or "save file to disk" or that sort of thing. I can probably get it figured out but any hints you can provide would sure be appreciated. Thanks again. Easy
