Hello,

Yes of course.
AmiBroker (registered) saves updated stock data into its own database files.
The files are in proprietary binary format which is at least 5 times smaller
than plain ASCII files holding the same information.

That's why AmiBroker uses its own format. Storing data in ASCII files
is not efficient.
>Q3] I would think that I will purchase V3.4 when it is released
>(despite the $aus/$usa :-( ); What is an efficient way of getting
>the initial lot of 2000+ history files into the workspace ?
Use stockmarketupdates site - download whole history in ASCII file format
and import it using AmiBroker's built in importer (PRN w/Ticker name format).
Otherwise you can download Metastock database and import it using Metastock importer.
